Downy Mildew Resistant

The Natural Answer to Downy Mildew infection in Sunflowers

• Downy mildew has created an increasing problem in Sunflower crops for the last 10 years
• It can be categorised as a fungal infection that is transmitted primarily through ground (systemic) infection and secondarily through air-born infection
• Up until now, the only methods used to fight the disease were use of chemicals and crop rotation
• Chemical pesticides are environmentally unfriendly, prone to development of resistance and often subject to legislation
• Crop rotation is impractical, costly and ineffective
• The ideal solution is a variety that is naturally resistant to the fungus. In vegetables, mildew-resistant varieties have been bred and implemented on a wider scale
• Following 3 years of successful testing under European conditions, Sakata introduces a new sunflower variety they can confidently claim to be Downy Mildew Resistant
• For the ISF definition of Resistance please see: http://worldseed.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/Resistance_terminology_20121.pdf
• In 3 years of testing in EMEA under varying conditions, no systemic infection has ever been recorded. Where air-born infection is noted, as spots on the leaves for example, the varieties ‘step in’ to exclude the infiltrator and heal naturally.
