Sunflower SB PRF 36

Stable Yields in Weed-Prone Environments

For agricultural enterprises utilizing Clearfield technology, the SB PRF 36 sunflower hybrid from NPO Sunbrid serves as a key tool for managing difficult-to-control weeds. The primary value of this hybrid lies in its inherent tolerance to imidazolinone-based herbicides (Euro-Lightning), allowing for effective weed suppression without compromising the crop's development.

Phytosanitary Resilience in the Field

Managing the risk of fungal pathogens is a top priority for agronomists. The SB PRF 36 is bred specifically to withstand the most prevalent fungal threats:

• White and Grey Rot: high resistance protects the integrity of the sunflower heads and stalks.
• Downy Mildew (Peronospora): strong genetic resistance helps minimize the need for early-stage fungicide applications.
• Phomopsis and Phoma: the hybrid shows high tolerance to tissue infection, which is vital in regions with fluctuating moisture levels.

Practical Application Strategies

Farmers select the SB PRF 36 for fields with high levels of parasitic weeds, such as broomrape, and aggressive grasses. Applying the herbicide during the recommended growth stages results in a clean, uniform crop. This is particularly advantageous for farms looking to minimize mechanical inter-row cultivation. Even under moisture-stressed conditions, the hybrid maintains stable test weights, ensuring consistent yields and reliable performance for large-scale operations.
