Sunflower PARAISO 102 SL

German breeding for a stable harvest

The sunflower hybrid PARAIZO 102 SL from the German breeding giant Saaten-Union is a proven solution for farmers focused on the Clearfield technology. Developed in cooperation with expert breeding centers, this hybrid represents a classic example of the European approach to protecting crop potential against the most dangerous pathogens.

Agronomic profile and resistance

PARAIZO 102 SL performs confidently in fields where infectious pressure is a significant concern. Thanks to its genetically ingrained immunity, the hybrid successfully resists a wide spectrum of diseases:

• Sclerotinia and Phomopsis (root and stem forms);
• Various types of rot, which can destroy a significant portion of the harvest under high humidity;
• Powdery mildew, which traditionally reduces the plant's photosynthetic activity.

Of particular note is its resistance to charcoal rot, making this hybrid a preferred choice for regions with a risk of soil drought and high summer temperatures.

Technological advantages

As a representative of the Clearfield system, this hybrid allows for the radical cleaning of fields from weeds without damaging the crop itself. This is a critical factor for fields with high weed infestation or stubborn grassy and broad-leaved weeds. A growing season of 110–120 days places it in the mid-early maturity group, which is optimal for most agro-climatic zones.

Externally, the plant features a moderate height (150–160 cm), which simplifies mechanical harvesting. The semi-convex shape of the head promotes better moisture drainage, reducing the risk of seed rot before threshing. Final oil content figures (50–55%) make PARAIZO 102 SL an attractive asset for agricultural producers aiming for a high-quality oil output.
