Sunflower Priority

Field performance and management

Using the «Prioritet» hybrid from the Institute of Oilseeds (NAAS) provides operators with a reliable, manageable crop. The key advantage is its full compatibility with the Euro-Lightning (Clearfield) system. This drastically simplifies field operations: a single herbicide application handles a wide range of weeds and broomrape, reducing fuel consumption and machine wear by limiting the number of tractor passes.

Harvesting and equipment adjustment

The 100-110 day maturity period makes it a predictable choice for harvest scheduling. Given the high oil content of 50-55%, the seeds are dense and heavy. For combine operators, this means the need for precise calibration of the concave clearance and fan speed to minimize grain damage and sieve loss, ensuring you capture every kilogram of the potential yield.

Disease protection

In high-pressure environments, this hybrid shows excellent resistance to Phomopsis and rust. This effectively lowers the budget requirements for fungicide sprays, as the genetic potential of the plant handles most threats independently. Being an Ukrainian-bred hybrid, it is specifically adapted to local climatic stresses, ensuring stability even during challenging, dry harvest seasons.
