Sunflower T 1184 XM

Maximizing Yields with the Pioneer T 1184 XM Hybrid

The T 1184 XM sunflower hybrid, developed by Pioneer s.a., serves as a high-performance solution for farms utilizing the Clearfield production system. By pairing this hybrid with Euro-Lightning herbicide technology, farmers can effectively manage weed pressure and broomrape infestations, which are common challenges in modern sunflower cultivation.

Optimized Growth Cycle

With a vegetation period of just 90–100 days, this hybrid is designed for efficiency. Its early maturity profile is particularly beneficial for:

• Regions with short growing seasons or end-of-summer moisture deficits.
• Double-cropping scenarios, where fields must be cleared early for winter crop sowing.
• Producers looking to hedge risks associated with late-season weather extremes.

Key Agronomic Traits

Standing at a height of 190–200 cm, T 1184 XM plants offer excellent uniformity, which facilitates seamless mechanical harvesting. A standout feature of this hybrid is its oil content, ranging from 45% to 50%. This high quality is a significant economic factor, ensuring that the final output meets the strict quality requirements of oil processing plants, thus securing better market prices for the producer.

Practical Field Application

By integrating T 1184 XM into their crop rotation, managers benefit from a simplified weed control program. The herbicide-tolerant trait significantly reduces the need for mechanical cultivation, saving on fuel, labor, and machinery maintenance. This hybrid combines the robustness expected from Pioneer s.a. genetics with the practical agility required by modern agricultural operations, making it a reliable choice for consistent performance across various soil conditions.
