F7 AX2 is a high-yielding sunflower hybrid specifically developed for regions heavily affected by rootworm. It exhibits high resistance to rootworm biotypes A-G, providing reliable protection against seven of this parasite's biotypes. Due to this resistance, the hybrid is suitable for cultivation on infested fields, where other varieties may significantly lose yield.
The F7 AX2 hybrid is characterized by stable yield with a potential of up to 50 t/ha, making it an attractive choice for farmers facing rootworm issues. Additionally, this sunflower has high oil content and adapts well to various growing conditions, including water scarcity and nutrient-poor soils. The absence of herbicide technology in the hybrid allows its use in farms where weed control is not a priority.
A key feature of the hybrid is its tolerance to more aggressive rootworm biotypes, achieved through continuous breeding efforts to update seed material. This minimizes the risk of yield loss due to parasite mutations. It is recommended to purchase new seeds annually to maintain high levels of protection and ensure stable sunflower production even under challenging phytosanitary conditions.
