Sunflower 5024 A

Stable yields with Clearfield protection

In unpredictable climate conditions and high disease pressure, farmers increasingly rely on hybrids that combine high oil content with advanced cultivation technology. The 5024 A sunflower from the Hungarian breeding company Woodstock is the optimal solution for operations seeking to minimize losses from weeds and pathogens without sacrificing profitability.

"Clean Field" technology and resilience

The main advantage of the 5024 A is its full compatibility with the Euro-Lightning (Clearfield) herbicide system. This allows farmers to control a broad spectrum of weeds, including difficult species, during the active growth stage without fear of crop suppression. As a simple hybrid, it demonstrates excellent crop uniformity, which facilitates easier header adjustment and reduces harvesting losses.

Disease resistance as a foundation for success

Woodstock's breeding program focuses heavily on the phytosanitary traits of the hybrid. 5024 A exhibits high resistance to a complex of the most dangerous pathogens:

• Downy Mildew (Peronospora): A strong genetic barrier protects the crop even during high humidity in spring.
• Alternaria and Phomopsis: The hybrid effectively resists fungal infections, keeping the leaf apparatus healthy until late autumn.
• Powdery Mildew: Reduced risk of premature wilting of the vegetative mass.

Agronomic insights

With a vegetation period of 110-120 days, this hybrid falls into the mid-ripening group, making it versatile for most climatic zones. The medium-sized head ensures uniform seed maturation, while oil content ranges from 50% to 55%, a top-tier indicator for commercial batches. By choosing 5024 A, you gain predictable results under intensive farming practices and the assurance of preserving your yield potential under any weather scenario.
