A.I.R.™
Choose a variety with all weed control options.
Usually, weed control in sunflowers is carried out after sowing/before emergence using root herbicides. Post-emergence solutions are increasingly being used to control certain difficult weeds in cases of heavy infestation, particularly for xanthium, datura, ragweed, thistle, nightshade and mercurials. In this context, the choice of variety is guided by weed control technology. With A.I.R.™, a new era has begun. Farmers can choose a variety with any weed control option!
Our solution
A.I.R.™ is a new herbicide tolerance technology for sunflowers.
It provides broad-spectrum resistance to ALS inhibitor herbicides (AHAS).
The A.I.R.™ system gives the variety dual resistance to imazamox-based herbicides and tribenuron-methyl-based herbicides.

Our expertise for your best
RAGT is one of the first seed producers to have recognised the benefits of this technology and incorporated it into its breeding programmes.
All the advantages of RAGT genetics – high oil content, disease tolerance, adaptation to water stress – combined with the most flexible weed control solution.
Farmers can adapt their weed control strategy, control the level of investment in their crops, and as a result, optimise their margins. All without compromising on the performance of the variety.
