Sunflower Pharaoh AM

Yield consistency and clear fields

The «Faraon AM» sunflower hybrid, developed by «Af Npp Agromir», is designed for producers who prioritize high-tech cultivation methods. Its standout feature is its full tolerance to imidazolinone-based herbicides («Euro-Lighting»), which provides a simple and effective strategy for managing weeds and broomrape without the need for multiple, costly herbicide applications.

Agro-biological Profile

With a vegetation period of 90–100 days, «Faraon AM» is categorized as an early-maturing hybrid. This is a strategic advantage for regions with short growing seasons or those prone to early autumn frost. The plants reach a height of 160–170 cm, which makes harvesting efficient and helps maintain plant stability even in windy conditions. With an oil content of 50–55%, the crop is highly valued by processors, offering growers strong market leverage.

Disease Resilience

The genetic package of «Faraon AM» focuses on mitigating common field risks. The hybrid shows excellent resistance to:

• White and Grey rot, which are notorious for causing lodging;
• Downy mildew (Peronosporosis);
• Phomopsis and Rust, which often compromise grain filling.

This high level of phytosanitary stability ensures that the plant channels its energy into seed development rather than fighting secondary infections.

Why choose «Faraon AM»?

This hybrid is a logical choice for farms looking to optimize their input costs. By leveraging the Clearfield system, farmers achieve clean fields with minimal machinery usage, reducing soil compaction and labor costs. «Faraon AM» is an ideal candidate for fields with complex pathogen histories, providing the robust biological defense necessary for a stable and profitable harvest.
