Plant the sunflower stable that tops the ARC national trials, year after year, and harness some of the leading genetics available on the market. Suitable for your preferred production system – from conventional to Pannar® brand sunflower hybrids with the Clearfield® Plus trait, as well as a hybrid high in oleic acid, Pannar delivers hybrids that are widely adapted, maintain excellent yield potential and offer exceptional stability under varying conditions. We also bring you options to stagger your flowering season to help you manage the risk of Sclerotinia infection.
The Pannar® brand sunflower hybrid package performs well in all sunflower production regions of South Africa, with four hybrids in the top ten of the 2021/2022 ARC national trials. Planting a hybrid package is recommended to strategically manage disease and drought stress. It is also recommended that farmers stagger their planting dates for enhanced risk management.
This new three-way cross hybrid features the Clearfield® Plus trait, offering the advantage of an effective alternative weed control strategy. This hybrid flowers early, similar to PAN 7102CLP, but has a slightly longer grain-filling period and slower dry-down rate (stay-green). This hybrid is intended to replace PAN 7102CLP in the product package, based on its increased yield potential, oil percentage, and oil yield. PAN 7103CLP also shows improved tolerance to Alternaria compared to PAN 7102CLP.

This single cross hybrid contains the Clearfield® Plus trait, with the benefit of an alternative choice for weed control. In terms of yield potential and stability, it competes on an equal footing with the conventional hybrids. This hybrid is based on PAN 7049 genetics. PAN 7102CLP is slightly quicker than the other medium late hybrids. When planted in a package with other hybrids, its earlier flowering date helps manage the risk of Sclerotinia infection.

Dark brown round/square lesions develop on leaves, stems, petioles
and heads, merge and form large dead areas. Individual lesions may
display a halo. Defoliation could follow. Alternaria may also cause
seedling blights. Leaf symptoms are often confused with Septoria Leaf
Spot and bacterial leaf infection; microscopic confirmation may be
required.
