Sunflower SY OTELLO

Genetic Potential and Protection

"SI Othello" is a simple sunflower hybrid from Syngenta designed to deliver yield stability under moderate climatic stress. The core value of this hybrid lies in its balanced physiological profile: at a height of 160–170 cm, the plant demonstrates excellent lodging resistance, which is critical for intensive cultivation practices.

Phytopathological Resistance

The model's key advantage is its genetically encoded immunity to the most dangerous pathogens that threaten yield productivity. Syngenta's engineering approach has provided "SI Othello" with high resistance to Phomopsis and Phoma, diseases capable of reducing yields by 30-50% in cases of crop rotation disruption. Active protection against rust and powdery mildew minimizes the need for aggressive fungicide applications, making the production process more economically efficient.

Oil Accumulation Efficiency

The biochemical traits of "SI Othello" place it in the category of high-performance oilseed hybrids. An oil content of 50–55% is achieved through an optimized vegetation period of 120–130 days. This growth cycle duration allows the plant to maximize photosynthetic activity during seed filling, converting solar energy into a high-quality lipid profile.

• Type: Simple hybrid.
• Plant height: 160–170 cm.
• Oil content: 50–55%.
• Vegetation period: 120–130 days.

This hybrid is recommended for operations focused on achieving high-quality commercial grain with superior oil content while maintaining reliable protection against foliar and stem infections.
