Temani 16H

Temani 16H is a variety of the SP 33S40 grain sorghum which is a medium-early hybrid with cream grain on a tan plant (food grade). This hybrid is very well adapted to the Great Plains and performs very well under narrow row plantings due to low tillering capacity.
It has a Medium-early maturity and drought tolerance allow utility for double cropping and late planting scenarios.

Sunflower Seed

Features

  • Mid to full season maturity with excellent standability
  • Semi pendulous heads
  • Resistance to major diseases such Leaf rust, Albugo, White Blister and Alternaria.
  • SuperSun 66 has shown excellent yield potential from marginal dryland to favorable and irrigated crop situations
  • SuperSun 66 plant population should be adapted based on expected field conditions to maximize kernel size and head filling
  • Potential to capture both polyunsaturated oil crushing market and premium human consumption market based on seasonal conditions
  • Avoid areas with parthenium weed or increase sucking pest management as known parthenium is a known host for Tobacco Streak
Benefits
  • Proven to perform under marginal dryland conditions
  • Plant population can be modified based on expected field and seasonal conditions without changing varieties
    Semi pendulous head reduces sunburn, head rot and potentially bird damage
  • Excellent yield potential under favourable conditions and irrigation
  • Potential access to premium human consumption dehulling market due to large plump seed size under favourable conditions

Market Segment/Target

  • Suitable for Polyunsaturated oil production
    (crushing)
  • Dehulling for confectionary market due to large
    plump seed size
