Sunflower FR 84231

Crop stability under high infection pressure

For agricultural enterprises operating in fields with a high risk of pathogen development, the Syngenta FR 84231 hybrid offers a reliable solution to protect investments. Its primary value lies in its comprehensive genetic resistance to a wide range of diseases, which minimizes the need for excessive fungicide applications throughout the growing season.

Technology and weed management

A key factor in choosing this hybrid is its compatibility with the EURO-LIGHTNING herbicide system. This allows farmers to effectively control weeds and broomrape in sunflower crops without the risk of phytotoxicity. You can maintain a clean field even under heavy weed pressure, which is critical for achieving maximum yield potential.

Agronomic performance

• Vegetation period: 110–120 days. Fits perfectly into intensive crop rotations.
• Oil content: 50–55%, ensuring high liquidity and demand from oil processing plants.
• Morphology: Plant height of 150–160 cm simplifies mechanical harvesting and reduces losses during combine operations.

The hybrid demonstrates resistance to Alternaria, white rot, grey rot, downy mildew, Phomopsis, Phoma, and powdery mildew. This genetic shield makes it a dependable choice for regions with unstable climatic conditions, where disease outbreaks can devastate crop yields. Using FR 84231 provides predictable results and high-quality grain output.
