Common sunflower Mas 95.IR

Reliable yields under stress

When planning a season, the goal is to balance yield potential with risk management. Working with the French genetics of Maisadour Semences, specifically the Mas 95.IR hybrid, gives you that much-needed peace of mind. It’s a classic simple hybrid that performs consistently if you follow basic management practices.

Field performance and protection

If your fields struggle with weeds, this is a massive operational win: you spray, the crop stays clean, and growth remains uninterrupted. With a maturity period of 110-120 days, it reliably reaches harvest maturity before the onset of difficult autumn weather.

The disease resistance is top-tier. In seasons when neighboring fields were hit by phoma or sclerotinia, the Mas 95.IR remained healthy. The medium-sized, convex heads ripen well and do not shatter easily during harvest. The black seeds sit tight in the heads, which keeps harvest losses to a minimum.

Oil quality and economics

At the elevator, this hybrid scores well for its oil content, consistently hitting the 45-50% range. Given that the hybrid isn't overly demanding, this is an excellent outcome for commercial farming. It forgives minor inconsistencies in fertilization and truly rewards a standard, solid agronomic approach.

• Vegetation period: 110-120 days.
• Protection: fully compatible with the Clearfield (Euro-Lightning) system.
• Resilience: high resistance to rot, phomopsis, and verticillium.
• Yield: predictable performance with high oil content.

If you're looking for a low-drama, high-performance crop, Mas 95.IR is the type of hybrid that proves its worth long before the combine even hits the field.
