Sunflower M96S33

Sustainable yield in diverse climates

The M96С33 sunflower hybrid from the Turkish breeding powerhouse May-Agro Tohumculuk Sanayi ve Ticaret A.Ş. is a balanced solution for farmers targeting the mid-ripening segment. With a vegetation period of 100-110 days, this hybrid fits perfectly into intensive crop rotations, allowing for timely harvesting.

Key features and morphology

One of the distinctive features of M96С33 is its flattened head shape. This morphology facilitates uniform drying of seeds in the field and minimizes the risk of rot in high-humidity conditions prior to harvest. An oil content of 40-45% makes this hybrid attractive to processors, ensuring a solid output of high-quality finished products.

• Crop Protection: Genetic resistance to downy mildew (peronospora) eliminates extra costs for fungicide treatments against this pathogen.
• Pest Resistance: Enhanced immunity to the cotton bollworm significantly reduces damage to the heads, preserving the commercial quality and weight of the seeds.

M96С33 is not a "one-size-fits-all" solution, but rather a specialized hybrid developed by May-Agro experts (originators: May-Agro Tohumculuk San ve Tic A.s., Geoffrey Lloyd Tomas, and their Turkey-based technical team) for conditions where fungal diseases and specific pests pose a significant threat. Farmers should consider this hybrid if their fields are prone to cotton bollworm infestations, as it outperforms standard varieties in these specific scenarios.

Who is this hybrid for?

This hybrid is optimal for producers who value consistency. If you operate in regions with a moderately warm climate and aim to minimize pesticide loads, the combination of resistance to major threats and reliable oil content makes M96С33 a robust tool for achieving target yields.
