Sunflower TANGO ST

Predictable performance from German genetics

Strube’s reputation in the seed market is built on pragmatic genetic development. Rather than chasing short-term yield records under perfect conditions, their approach centers on stability and risk management. The «Tango SH» sunflower hybrid is a prime example of this philosophy. It is a simple hybrid designed for producers who prioritize consistent results regardless of seasonal weather volatility.

Built-in field resistance

The core advantage of «Tango SH» is its robust phytosanitary profile. It provides farmers with a solid genetic shield against some of the most destructive sunflower pathogens, reducing the dependency on extensive fungicide programs. The hybrid demonstrates high tolerance to:

• Downy mildew (Peronospora): reliable protection in high-risk areas.
• Phomopsis and Phoma: ensuring stem and leaf health throughout the season.
• Verticillium: maintaining plant longevity and yield potential even in affected soils.

By investing in these traits, you are essentially securing your crop against common biological threats, which is a key factor in keeping operational costs predictable.

Economic value and oil output

With an oil content ranging from 45% to 50%, «Tango SH» provides a solid position in the standard commodity market. While it may not be a specialty high-oleic choice, its consistency is its main strength. The hybrid matures uniformly and holds up well under standard harvesting conditions, ensuring minimal harvest losses. It is the ideal choice for those following conventional farming practices who need a reliable, low-maintenance variety that delivers predictable income.

Who should consider «Tango SH»? This hybrid is best suited for farms operating in environments with significant disease pressure where security is just as important as yield volume. Strube has engineered a "workhorse" variety that balances agronomic simplicity with high-quality, tradable production.
