Sunflower AT 0514

French Breeding for Consistent Yields

The RAGT AT 0514 sunflower hybrid is a classic example of European breeding from Societe Ragt 2N S.A.S, developed specifically for intensive farming. This simple hybrid demonstrates excellent adaptability to climate conditions typical of central and southern regions, where resistance to pathogens is a critical factor for success.

Biological Potential and Defense

The growth cycle of this variety is 110–120 days, classifying it as a mid-early product. This cycle allows the crop to optimize soil moisture usage and avoid peak summer heat stress. With a height of 170–180 cm, the plant remains relatively compact, which simplifies harvesting and reduces the risk of lodging under adverse weather conditions.

• Oil Content: 50–55%, which stands as a high benchmark for modern RAGT hybrids.
• Immune System: Breeders have prioritized phytosanitary resilience. AT 0514 effectively resists a wide spectrum of fungal infections, including Phomopsis, Phoma, powdery mildew, as well as various types of white and gray rot.

Choosing this hybrid is a justified decision for farms looking to minimize chemical inputs through high genetic crop resistance. The high oil concentration in the seeds ensures better profitability when delivering to processing plants.
