Common sunflower ALAMO F1

French genetics for stable yields

ALAMO F1 by Euralis Semences is the result of years of French breeding efforts focused on developing a sunflower hybrid capable of delivering high oil content (50-55%) under intensive farming conditions. As a simple hybrid, it performs reliably in the field thanks to its genetic resistance to key crop threats.

Agronomic profile and protection

The hybrid belongs to the mid-early maturity group, with a vegetation period of 100-110 days. This allows farmers to schedule harvesting within optimal timeframes without waiting for the head to become excessively dry. The plant reaches a height of 160-170 cm, ensuring a robust habitus and strong competition against weeds during the early growth stages.

Euralis breeders paid special attention to protecting the crop against pathogens that threaten yield potential every year. ALAMO F1 demonstrates high tolerance to:

• Sclerotinia (White mold);
• Phomopsis;
• Phoma.

Market positioning

Today, the ALAMO F1 sunflower remains a preferred choice for growers prioritizing high oil content and stability. The partnership between Euralis Semences and VNIS has successfully adapted this French-originated genetics to a wide range of soil and climatic zones. Its high growth energy and complex resistance make it a dependable tool for agronomists aiming to minimize losses from common fungal diseases in annual sunflowers.
