RT 0656

Engineering approach to RAGT sunflower breeding

The French breeding school RAGT 2n S.A.S. focused on developing PT 0656 as a stable hybrid capable of maintaining yield potential under changing climatic conditions. The originator (Claude Tabel) incorporated a genetic code adapted to a wide range of soil and climatic zones. The technical value of this product lies in the precise balance of biological traits, ensuring predictability in crop development from sowing to harvest.

Agrobiological characteristics

• Genotypic potential: At the core of PT 0656 is the long-term work of Societe Ragt 2N S.A.S. experts aimed at strengthening the plant's immune response to pathogens and environmental stress.
• Cultivation technology: The hybrid demonstrates high adaptability to both classical and intensive agrotechnological protocols, allowing farmers to manage per-hectare costs flexibly.
• Yield stability: The engineering design of the flower head structure allows for efficient nutrient distribution, minimizing harvest losses and facilitating mechanized operations.

Choosing this product from the French manufacturer is a commitment to the proven RAGT 2n genetic line. In real field conditions, this hybrid delivers reliable performance in terms of thousand-seed weight and oil content, which is critical for the profitability of commercial production. The professional use of RAGT seeds minimizes risks associated with lodging, a fact confirmed by years of testing by the originator.
