Description

DRAKE is a conventional hybrid with medium yield potential combined with medium to high oil content and high TGW, belonging to the medium maturity range. From an agronomical perspective, DRAKE convinces with a medium plant height and its favourable head position. Its outstanding healthiness is an important characteristic. DRAKE’s resistances to the relevant diseases stem and head sclerotinia are excellent, those to Phoma and Phomopsis, which are both yield-damaging diseases, are also very well developed. DRAKE carries the Plasmopara gene PL8 and is resistant also to broomrape races A-E. *This sunflower hybrid exhibits no herbicide tolerance.
