How to get decent sunflower yield

Growing sunflower you should consider the following:

  1. Variety. There are hybrids with the yield several times higher than the standard. When choosing a variety, you should take into account the climate conditions of the area, crop tolerance to pests, growing and tending peculiarities. Depending on the variety selection, the yield may differ within 35% towards a decrease or an increase. Besides, the germination rate depends on the aggressive environment conditions, air temperature and soil type, and it also depends on the quality of seed preparation, and you can see this by visiting our unique SGT seed plant in early 2018, the information with invitations will be posted on the site later, follow the news. New modern sunflower hybrids have recently appeared in the market, they are interesting in terms of yield, high oil content and stress resistance: Batolli, SS 2014, SS 20014
  2. Quality. It is common knowledge that High Quality Seed is a Guarantee of high yield and additional Profit. However, it is not possible for everyone to get high quality seeds; Seed Global Technologies can divide the seeds by size, weight, color, caliber with its unique seed equipment and technology that allows getting better seeds. Large, high-quality sunflower seed purchased from the proven suppliers can increase germination rate by 15-18%, yield up to 40%, and profit by 30-40%.
  3. Proper seed preparation and storage in combination with seed treatment and application of micronutrients and growth stimulants serves as an effective prevention against diseases and pests.
  4. Following crop rotation. You cannot grow sunflower on the same field every year 7-8 times in a row. Following crop rotation, you can achieve an excellent yield. A good option is to plant sunflower after corn, winter wheat and potatoes.
  5. You should create the ideal conditions for seed germination. The soil should be moistened, free from weeds, promptly cultivated and harrowed. The proper sowing dates contribute to the early germination of sunflower seeds.
  6. During the crop growth and development, you should provide a balanced nutrition. Be sure to apply boron and other useful fertilizers.
  7. Proper harvesting dates help to keep sunflower biological potential. Late harvesting dates can cause a yield loss of 5-10%. Seed moisture at harvesting time should be 12-14%.
  8. Compliance with growing technology for this or that variety allows to fully reveal the yield potential and increase it by several times.
