Sunflower Akkord

Stable harvests in high-risk zones: why choose "Accord"

In an era of climatic volatility and high disease pressure, farmers need a hybrid that doesn't just grow biomass but guarantees a result. "Accord," the product of a breeding collaboration between the Institute of Oilseed Crops of NAAS and Moldova's Agros-sem S.R.L., was developed specifically to overcome the agricultural challenges of the Ukrainian steppe and forest-steppe zones.

Defense potential against major threats

The key differentiator for this hybrid is its genetic resistance to a complex of pathogens that can claim up to 20% of a sunflower crop annually. While competitors require intensive fungicide treatment against powdery mildew, "Accord" demonstrates high natural resistance. Particular emphasis is placed on downy mildew (peronosporosis): the hybrid effectively resists infection, maintaining its photosynthetic leaf area until harvest time.

Technology compatibility: "Euro-Lightning"

For farms struggling with broomrape and difficult-to-control weeds, "Accord" is designed for the "Euro-Lightning" system. This allows for radical field clearing in a single application without risking phytotoxicity. The hybrid type ensures high uniformity across the field and predictable maturity timelines.

• Biological performance: 45–50% oil content, a top-tier figure for this segment.
• Morphology: Narrow-ovoid, black seeds with grey stripes; medium size contributes to high test weight.
• Plant structure: The flattened, medium-sized head facilitates easier threshing and minimizes harvest losses.

Who this is for: Ideally suited for agribusinesses practicing intensive farming, where simplified weed control and disease protection are balanced with cost-effective cultivation strategies.
