Sunflower HEAT 21

Practical insights on Zagrey 21 cultivation

When selecting seeds for operations utilizing the Clearfield system, Zagrey 21 proves to be a reliable choice.

Agronomy and crop protection

The primary operational advantage is full compatibility with Euro-Lightning herbicides, which makes weed management on heavily infested fields efficient and straightforward. Regarding plant health, the hybrid demonstrates excellent resistance to Downy mildew (peronosporosis). During humid seasons when Phomopsis and Sclerotinia risks are high, Zagrey 21 maintains impressive standability and head integrity, significantly reducing the need for intensive fungicide spraying.

Harvest economics

With a vegetation period of 90–100 days, this hybrid is ideal for optimizing your harvesting window, allowing you to wrap up operations before adverse weather hits. An oil content of 50–55% ensures high-quality grain that commands a premium price at the elevator. You end up with dense, well-filled achenes, maximizing the output per hectare and improving your bottom line.
