MAS 817P

Optimized Production with Early Maturity

The French sunflower hybrid MAS 817P from Mas Seeds is designed for farmers focusing on logistics and harvest efficiency. With a vegetation period of 100–105 days, this early-maturing hybrid allows for a quick harvest, clearing fields in time for winter crop planting. Its reliability in varying weather conditions makes it a strategic asset for intensive farming operations looking to mitigate end-of-season risks.

Robust Phytosanitary Defense

Growing MAS 817P simplifies crop management by reducing dependence on intensive fungicide spray programs. The hybrid features strong genetic resistance to key pathogens, ensuring crop health throughout the season. Key resistance traits include:

• Peronospora (Downy Mildew);
• Sclerotinia (head and stalk rot);
• Phomopsis;
• Powdery mildew.

This inherent stability allows the plant to maintain its yield potential even in high-pressure disease environments, providing producers with consistent field performance.

Economic Performance and Consistency

As a simple hybrid type, MAS 817P offers high uniformity across the field, which is essential for mechanized harvesting. The plants exhibit excellent standability and uniform head ripening, minimizing grain loss during the combine harvest. With an oil content ranging from 44% to 52%, this hybrid consistently meets market demands for quality grain. For agricultural enterprises, choosing MAS 817P means opting for reliable French breeding technology that focuses on predictable profitability and robust harvest results under temperate climate conditions.
