Sunflower 35562

Field Performance of Advanta 35562

Managing a crop with the Advanta 35562 three-way hybrid offers a significant advantage in terms of operational planning. With a maturity window of 80–90 days, this variety is built for efficiency. The plants grow to a uniform height of 170–180 cm, which makes harvesting straightforward and ensures low header losses. The large, well-filled heads are a testament to the breeding quality behind this hybrid.

Crop Protection and Management

The integration of the Clearfield (Euro-Lightning) herbicide system is a game-changer for weed control. Applying the treatment allows for a clean field without the stress of mechanical weeding, giving the crop a head start. Disease management is equally solid; the hybrid shows robust resistance to rust, phomopsis, and powdery mildew, reducing the need for intensive fungicide spraying and keeping input costs predictable.

Productivity and Oil Content

For any grower, the bottom line is the oil content, and at 45–50%, this hybrid delivers consistent value. The collaboration between Advanta and Limagrain experts has resulted in a genetics profile that handles various soil types well. It is a reliable, high-performing choice that combines the flexibility of modern herbicide technology with the rapid maturation required for efficient crop rotation.
