Sunflower TRS 3396 R

Optimizing Weed Control with Clearfield Technology

For modern farmers managing fields with heavy weed pressure or broomrape issues, the MAS Seeds TRS 3396 R hybrid is an essential tool. Designed specifically for the 'Euro-Lighting' (Clearfield) production system, this sunflower allows for comprehensive post-emergence herbicide control, ensuring your crop grows without competition for light, water, or nutrients.

Robust Defense Against Pathogens

French breeding excellence is at the heart of the TRS 3396 R. This hybrid is developed to withstand severe environmental pressures, reducing the reliance on aggressive fungicide programs. Its field resistance profile includes:

• Strong protection against Sclerotinia and Phomopsis, crucial for mitigating losses during head maturation.
• Proven resistance to Phoma and powdery mildew.
• Genetic tolerance to Downy Mildew (Peronospora), ensuring uniform stands even in high-risk zones.

By investing in a hybrid with such a strong sanitary profile, growers can significantly reduce their risk of yield drops associated with common fungal outbreaks.

Yield Potential and Harvest Characteristics

TRS 3396 R offers a maturity period of 110–120 days, making it an adaptable choice for diverse agronomic zones. The hybrid produces medium-sized seeds with a high oil content (50–55%), which adds premium value for processors. Its growth cycle is optimized for a stress-free harvesting process, allowing for efficient field logistics and storage management.

Practical management: Adhering to recommended planting densities will allow this hybrid to maximize its photosynthetic capacity and achieve its full potential in oil yield per hectare.
