Sunflower SB PA 10

Maximizing Yield with Advanced Weed Control: SB PA 10

For farmers facing heavy weed pressure and persistent fungal challenges, the SB PA 10 sunflower hybrid from NPO Sunbrid offers a reliable and technological solution. Designed for intensive farming systems, this hybrid is fully tolerant to imidazolinone-based herbicides (the «Clearfield» system). This feature provides a significant agronomic advantage, allowing for effective control of most broadleaf weeds and broomrape in a single, well-timed post-emergence application.

Robust Phytosanitary Resistance

A standout feature of SB PA 10 is its built-in resistance to common pathogens that typically threaten crop health and lower quality. The hybrid has shown high tolerance to:

• Phomopsis and Phoma;
• Sclerotinia (white rot);
• Various stem and root rots;
• Gray rot.

This genetic defense makes SB PA 10 a preferred choice for farms practicing reduced tillage, where residue-borne diseases often pose a substantial risk to crop development.

Agronomic Profile

With a vegetation period of 100–110 days, SB PA 10 fits well into a medium-early maturity schedule, providing flexibility during the harvesting window. The plants reach a height of 160–170 cm, which is optimal for modern combine harvesting, ensuring minimal field losses. When managed with appropriate agronomic practices, the hybrid maintains a consistent oil content of 45–50%, meeting high quality standards for processing.

Ideal for: SB PA 10 is designed for operations that prioritize the Clearfield system for simplified field maintenance. It is a robust, predictable hybrid that compensates for moderate environmental stress and provides a safer harvest in regions prone to fungal outbreaks.
