Sunflower MAK 213 R

Field Performance: What to Expect from MAG 213 R

For an agronomist prioritizing ultra-early maturing hybrids, MAG 213 R serves as a precise tool for harvest scheduling. The key argument for choosing this sunflower hybrid is its 90–100 day growth cycle. This flexibility helps crops avoid peak July droughts or ensures the field is cleared for winter planting within optimal agronomic windows.

Field Economics and Oil Content

In real-world conditions, the hybrid behaves predictably. When standard agronomic practices are followed, seed oil content consistently ranges between 45–50%. For an operator, this means predictable logistics: you receive high-quality raw material that requires minimal drying and processing if the harvest is managed correctly. Developed by breeder Galina Aleksandrovna Makarenko, this variety is adapted to local climate challenges, minimizing risks during seasonal weather shifts.

Operational Insights

• Maturation Speed: The short vegetation period makes it an excellent solution for regions with risky agriculture or short summer seasons.
• Efficiency: Even ripening ensures low-loss harvesting, which is critical for maintaining high machinery efficiency.
• Yield: High oil yield combined with moderate fertilizer and pesticide requirements translates to strong margins per hectare.

If you need a hybrid that fits seamlessly into your crop rotation, MAG 213 R is a low-maintenance choice. It does not deplete the soil excessively and requires no specialized header modifications for your standard combine fleet. It is a workhorse that delivers stable returns on every unit of input invested.
