Sunflower TRIBUTE

High-Oil Yield Sunflower for Robust Weed Control

The «Tribute» sunflower hybrid by AF Flora is designed for producers who prioritize operational efficiency and crop security. In a market saturated with hybrids, this variety stands out due to its specific combination of mid-early maturity and high genetic resistance to common sunflower diseases.

Key Agronomic Features

With a vegetation period of 100-110 days, Tribute offers a strategic advantage in planning post-harvest activities. The plant develops a medium-sized, convex head, which is highly efficient for seed filling and reduces the risk of head rot caused by trapped moisture. Notably, the oil content reaches an impressive 50-55%, making it a highly profitable commercial crop.

Disease and Weed Management

• Herbicidal Resistance: Engineered specifically for Euro-Lighting (Clearfield) technology, the hybrid allows for comprehensive weed management, effectively cleaning fields infested with broomrape and other difficult broadleaf weeds.
• Pathogen Protection: The hybrid demonstrates solid field resistance to downy mildew (peronosporosis) and shows reliable tolerance to powdery mildew. This reduces the need for expensive late-season fungicide applications.

Why Choose Tribute? This hybrid is best suited for farms that practice intensive cultivation and need a dependable crop that can handle herbicide stress. It performs best in moderate climate zones. While it is highly robust, its strength lies in its consistency—you get exactly what the genetics promise: high oil percentage and reliable maturity. It is an optimal tool for farmers looking to simplify their herbicide program while maintaining top-tier production standards.
