Sunflower RT 7220

Stable yields with a focus on timing

When working with the PT 7220 hybrid from the French RAGT breeding center, the first thing you notice is the predictability of the vegetation period. A maturation cycle of 90-100 days allows for comfortable planning of the harvest campaign without fearing prolonged autumn rains. For the farm, this means no rush and minimal losses during threshing.

Field protection and agronomy

The main advantage in the field is a robust immune system. The hybrid holds up exceptionally well against major sunflower diseases. During observation, instances of downy mildew, phoma, or phomopsis were practically non-existent, which significantly preserves the budget for fungicide protection. The plant forms a head that does not require specific growth regulators, and the uniformity of maturation allows for setting the combine settings once and covering the entire field without unnecessary stops.

Oil economy

An oil content in the 45-50% range makes this hybrid highly profitable. During processing, the seeds demonstrate good oil yield performance, which ultimately increases the profitability per hectare. The grain is well-filled and has sufficient test weight, simplifying logistics and storage at the facility.

• Vegetation period: 90-100 days (early maturity as a risk management tool).
• Resistance: high resistance to phomopsis, phoma, and downy mildew.
• Oil content: stable 45-50%.
• Origin: French RAGT breeding.

Conclusion: PT 7220 is the choice for those who value reliability and consistent oil content in the bunker with minimal stress for the agronomist.
