The seed market offers a wide variety of sunflower hybrids, but not all of them are able to combine yield, disease resistance and adaptability to cultivation technology. Eurosem works with farmers across the country and beyond, so it knows what modern farms really need.
Let’s look at 5 main reasons why you should choose Eurosem sunflower hybrids, in particular Sumo 007 sunflower.
- Adaptation to SUMO cultivation technology
One of the key advantages of Eurosem hybrids is their adaptation to modern herbicide technologies.
The SUMO (Sumo) cultivation technology is resistant to sulfonylurea herbicides and allows for effective control of complex dicotyledonous weeds in crops, including those resistant to classic herbicides.
The Sumo 007 sunflower hybrid was created specifically for this system: it is resistant to tribenuron-methyl and allows you to combat ragweed, thistles, bittercress and other malicious weeds.
- Stable yield in different zones
Sumo 007 demonstrates high yields regardless of climatic conditions.
It is grown in central, northern and western Ukraine, where frequent droughts are followed by periods of excessive moisture.
Sumo 007 sunflower has powerful initial growth and forms a good basket even on low-fertility soils.
- Resistance to diseases and broomrape
The main threats to sunflowers are phomosis, phomopsis, white rot, rust and broomrape.
Eurosem hybrids, in particular Sumo 007, are genetically resistant to broomrape races A–F, which allows you to avoid crop losses without additional costs for fungicides or soil herbicides.
- High oil content
For farmers who sell sunflowers for processing, not only yield but also seed oil content is important.
Sumo 007 sunflowers have an average oil content of 50-52%, which is advantageous when selling for processing. Bonuses for increased oil content mean additional profit for the farmer.
- Proven effectiveness on demo plots
Eurosem conducts field demonstrations in various regions of Ukraine every year.
Sumo 007 has repeatedly demonstrated the best results among its counterparts, especially on weedy fields. It has already been tested by dozens of farms, from small farmers to large agricultural holdings.
The Sumo 007 sunflower hybrid is a modern solution for farmers who want results. Its stability, adaptability to SUMO cultivation technology, yield and ease of protection make it a reliable choice for the season.
