Sunflower VOLLTER SU

Optimized Production with Clearfield Technology

The Vollter SU sunflower hybrid by Syngenta is a reliable choice for commercial farms focusing on high yields and effective weed management. Specifically designed for the Clearfield (Euro-Lightning) system, it allows producers to control difficult weeds and parasitic plants like broomrape in a single application, ensuring the crop remains competitive throughout the early growth stages.

Key Operational Advantages

With a maturity period of 90–100 days, Vollter SU is classified as an early-maturing hybrid. This is a practical advantage for growers who need to optimize their harvest schedule or clear fields quickly for winter crop rotation. The high oil content, ranging from 50% to 55%, ensures that the crop meets the highest quality requirements of processing facilities, leading to better market pricing.

Disease Resistance and Field Health

Syngenta has engineered this hybrid to withstand significant environmental and pathological pressures, reducing the need for intensive chemical interventions:

• High resistance to Downy Mildew and Powdery Mildew.
• Strong tolerance against stem and head rots, including Phomopsis and Phoma.
• Effective protection against various forms of rust.

By selecting Vollter SU, farmers gain a balanced hybrid that combines stable growth, simplified weed control, and robust genetic defense. It is a preferred option for operations looking for consistent productivity despite the challenges of changing weather conditions and soil pathogen pressure.
