SY MAGISTER

Focus on Oil Content and Processing Efficiency

SI MAGISTER is a new sunflower hybrid from French breeder Syngenta, officially registered in Ukraine in 2025. This mid-early maturing oilseed hybrid is specifically designed for the Forest-Steppe zone, balancing high yield potential with superior grain quality for industrial processing.

Quality and Marketability

The primary value of SI MAGISTER lies in its adaptability and the physical quality of the achenes. The large, downward-facing head at maturity provides excellent protection against precipitation and pests, which is crucial for maintaining seed integrity and preventing mold development. This ensures a high-quality raw material with low acidity levels, which is highly valued by oil extraction plants.

Key advantages for the processing sector include:

• High Oil Yield: The hybrid's genetics are optimized for maximum oil accumulation.
• Transportability: The robust structure of the seeds and resistance to lodging minimize losses during harvesting and transport to storage facilities.
• Uniformity: Due to its stable morphological characteristics, the crop is easy to clean and calibrate, ensuring consistent performance in industrial processing lines.

SI MAGISTER demonstrates excellent head filling, resulting in high test weight (bulk density), a key metric for traders and processors. With its strong stem and resistance to environmental stressors, this hybrid provides a reliable supply of high-quality oilseeds suitable for both domestic processing and export markets.
