Sunflower Stelantis SU

Technological potential of the Stelantis SU hybrid

The 2025 breeding novelty from the Romanian division of Saaten Union is aimed at farmers who view sunflower not just as a field crop, but as raw material for high-efficiency processing. The F1 Stelantis SU hybrid was created taking into account the modern requirements of oil extraction plants for seed quality.

Raw material quality and processing

A key feature of Stelantis SU is the stability of the physical and chemical properties of the achenes. During threshing, the hybrid demonstrates high uniformity, which is critical for minimizing losses during cleaning and calibration at elevators. High grain bulk density ensures maximum oil yield during industrial pressing, and the strong seed coat reliably protects the kernel from mechanical damage during transport.

Logistics and storage

Thanks to the breeding characteristics established in 2025, the hybrid has excellent transportability. The seeds maintain their integrity during handling, which reduces the risk of dust formation and weight loss during long-term storage in silos. Low moisture content at maturity allows for reduced drying costs while maintaining the commercial appearance of the product for export markets.

• Optimal for deep oil processing.
• High seed density ensures cost-effective logistics.
• Minimal storage losses due to resistance to damage.
