Sunflower Vellox

Crop Stability Under Stress

R2N's French breeding program focuses on technological efficiency, and the Velloex sunflower hybrid is no exception. In an era of unpredictable weather and heavy disease pressure, this hybrid offers a balanced approach between ripening speed and yield potential.

A Protective Shield for Your Field

The key feature of Velloex is its robust phytosanitary defense. Its genetic resistance to a complex of rots, particularly white rot and Phomopsis, helps minimize harvest losses during the seed-filling stage. Unlike many medium-maturing hybrids that succumb to disease under high-humidity conditions, Velloex maintains an active, healthy leaf surface until full maturity.

Technological Advantages

• A 100–110 day vegetation period makes it an excellent choice for regions with shorter growing seasons or where early field clearance for winter crops is necessary.
• An oil content of 50–55% makes Velloex a valuable asset for processing plants, ensuring a stable market price.
• The French genetics from RAGT 2n provide high adaptability to intensive cultivation practices.

Who should choose Velloex? It is best suited for farms operating in areas with moderate infection pressure that prioritize predictable results while optimizing fungicide costs. The hybrid responds well to soil fertility and reaches its full potential when crop rotation is managed correctly, making it a reliable workhorse for those who value European seed quality.
