Crop programs

A plan for the whole season

Products only pay off when they arrive at the right stage. Our programs put the hybrid, the protection and the nutrition in order, matched to your crop and your region's rains.

Flagship program

Sunflower

Tanzania's oilseed opportunity. Fourteen hybrids, three herbicide technologies, and a stage-by-stage plan proven on our own demonstration plots.

  1. 01

    Before planting

    Choose the hybrid for your region, season length and weed pressure. Classic, IMI or SU technology decides your herbicide options for the whole season.

  2. 02

    Planting

    Treated seed goes in at the right rate for the hybrid, typically 50 to 65 thousand seeds per hectare, timed to the start of reliable rains.

    Seeding rate and spacing plan for your plot

  3. 03

    Emergence to 6 leaves

    The critical weed window. Weeds that establish now take the yield. Herbicide choice follows the hybrid technology.

  4. 04

    Vegetative growth

    Micronutrition and biostimulants keep the crop building leaf area. Scouting catches pest pressure early.

    Field visits and treatment thresholds

  5. 05

    Flowering

    Disease protection matters most here. Spraying is timed to protect the crop and spare the pollinators working the field.

  6. 06

    Maturity and harvest

    Desiccation evens the field for a single clean harvest at the right moisture, protecting oil quality in storage.

Proof, not promises

Every program runs on our own plots first

We grow what we sell. Our demonstration fields test each hybrid and program under real Tanzanian conditions before we recommend it to you. Visit, walk the rows and compare for yourself.
