Sunflower Malcolm

Working with the Malcom hybrid

When dealing with French genetics from Maisadour Semences, you expect consistency, and Malcom certainly delivers.

Field reliability and protection

Malcom handles the main regional pathogens quite effectively:

• Downy mildew (Peronospora): during periods of high humidity, when nearby fields start showing signs of infection, Malcom stays clean.

Being a simple hybrid, it significantly simplifies the sowing campaign planning. There is no need to agonize over complex treatment schedules to combat diseases. The plants are strong and uniform, which is critical during harvest—the combine moves smoothly, and header losses are minimized.

Crop economics

In terms of profitability, Malcom is a workhorse.

Crop maintenance is straightforward, focusing on standard herbicide and fertilizer applications. The hybrid is not finicky and responds well to nutrients. If your goal is to minimize risks and get a predictable tonnage with high grain quality, this sunflower is well worth a spot in your crop rotation.
