Sunflower AT 5011

French Breeding for High Oil Content

In the agricultural market, the sunflower hybrid AT 5011 from the French originator RAGT occupies a niche for solutions focused on stability in intensive farming conditions. It is a simple hybrid created in the laboratories of Societe Ragt 2N S.A.S., whose breeding school is known for its rigorous approach to the phytosanitary safety of crops.

Agronomic Profile and Vegetation

The AT 5011 model is positioned as a mid-early hybrid with a vegetation period of 100 to 110 days. This early ripening allows farmers to flexibly plan the harvesting campaign, avoiding peak workloads and autumn precipitation. A key characteristic determining the economic efficiency of this hybrid is its oil content, which reaches 50–55%. For processing plants, this translates into a high yield of finished product per hectare.

Phytosanitary Resistance

Special attention during the development of AT 5011 was paid to genetic immunity. The originator RAGT 2n incorporated resistance to key pathogens that traditionally reduce yield potential in temperate climates:

• Downy mildew (Peronospora): effective containment of infection development in early growth stages.
• Phomopsis: protection of vegetative mass and the sunflower head.
• Phoma: prevention of premature plant wilting.

These parameters make AT 5011 a reliable choice for farms aiming to minimize fungicide load and ensure a predictable result by following cultivation technology.

Market Position

RAGT products are traditionally valued for their transparent genetic history and compliance with stated technical specifications. AT 5011 is a choice for those who rely on intensive technologies that require not only productivity potential but also high resistance to common fungal diseases of sunflowers.
