How Sunflower Hybrid Seed Production Works?

High-quality sunflower and corn seeds are essential for successful agricultural production. It is the foundation for cultivation of crops and obtaining high yields, as breeding progress is reflected in seeds.

High-quality sunflower and corn seeds are crucial for agricultural production. Seeds are the starting point for productive cultivation and obtaining high yields. Breeding progress is embodied in seeds. We take pride in the success and exceptional field performance of our sunflower and corn hybrids.

Did you know that sunflowers have a ‘father’ and a ‘mother’ in hybridization fields? The paternal plant pollinates the maternal plants. Afterwards the ‘father’ is cut or rolled out, and as a result we harvest the hybrid seeds with combined traits from both parents.

Hybrid seeds have numerous advantages: high yield potential, adaptability, disease resistance, tolerance to broomrape, active substances of herbicides, etc. While these traits vary by hybrid, all Evrosem’s sowing seeds are profitable seeds charged for the harvest!

To get high-quality seeds, Evrosem enforces strict control over each production stage. Seed production involves significant manual labor, constant satellite monitoring, and the support of highly skilled agronomists from the moment of field preparation to sowing to harvesting of hybridization sites.
