Clearfield performance: working with the «Sudoku» hybrid

When weed pressure becomes unmanageable, switching to the Clearfield system is often the only path to economic viability. The «Sudoku» hybrid from Syngenta is a reliable asset for farmers who prioritize predictable results over experimental tactics.

Field operations

With a vegetation period of 112–118 days, the hybrid fits perfectly into most harvest schedules, allowing for timely work before the autumn rains. From an owner's perspective, the crop demonstrates excellent stability across various soil types. The most critical factor is the phytosanitary profile: diseases like phomopsis, phoma, and sclerotinia do not become major issues mid-season. Genetic resistance to downy mildew and powdery mildew significantly reduces the need for frequent fungicide applications.

Key technical advantages

• Simplified weed control: Being fully compatible with the Clearfield system, «Sudoku» allows for effective herbicide treatment, eliminating even the most stubborn weeds at the 2–4 leaf stage.
• Consistency: As a simple hybrid, it produces uniform stands with consistent height, which makes combine header adjustments straightforward and minimizes harvesting losses.
• Resilience: Built-in disease resistance means you aren't spending your budget on chemicals to fix preventable issues.
