Sunflower NA Yumis

Stable yields with the Clearfield technology

The «NA Yumis» sunflower hybrid by Nertus is a choice for farmers who prioritize reliability and high production standards. As a three-way hybrid, it was engineered as a robust tool to combat a broad spectrum of weeds, including broomrape (Orobanche), thanks to its full compatibility with the Clearfield (Euro-Lightning) herbicide system.

Agronomic potential and key features

The standout feature of «NA Yumis» is its high adaptability to varying soil and weather conditions. Reaching a height of 180-190 cm, the plant possesses a sturdy stem, which minimizes lodging risks even under unfavorable weather events. With a vegetation period of 110-120 days, it serves as an optimal solution for regions with moderate climates, allowing for a structured and efficient harvest planning.

The manufacturer has placed a strong focus on grain quality, achieving an oil content between 45% and 50%, which is highly sought after by processing facilities. A significant competitive advantage is its pronounced resistance to Phomopsis, one of the most destructive fungal diseases that annually threatens sunflower yields across Ukraine.

Who is this hybrid for?

• Farms operating on fields with high weed pressure where post-emergence weed control is essential.
• Growers seeking a mid-maturing hybrid that consistently delivers high oil percentages.
• Farmers implementing intensive cultivation methods capable of unlocking the full genetic potential of a three-way hybrid.

While the hybrid is designed for efficiency, it requires strict adherence to herbicide application protocols. Following Euro-Lightning application rates ensures weed-free fields without causing phytotoxicity to the crop. Compared to more sensitive modern varieties, «NA Yumis» demonstrates greater performance stability during moisture fluctuations throughout the seed-filling stage.
