## Pages
- [Cultivation lexicon – Sunflower](https://ragt-seeds.com/cultivation-lexicon-sunflower/): The sunflower forms a deep taproot which, like the sugar beet, can root down to a depth of 3 metres. Sunflower soils should be loosely bedded and easy to penetrate, because the sunflower's taproot does not have very strong penetrating power (avoid compaction). The fibrous root system makes up 50 to 70 percent of the root system and spreads in the top 40 cm of soil depth.

Its adaptability makes it a valuable asset in the rotation for crop-livestock or organic/low input farms.90% of the world's production is concentrated in Europe with 5 main countries: Poland, Germany, France, Belarus and SpainTriticale has two main outlets : For feed industries: triticale is a significant source of energy for livestock and poultry. For industries: a fibre and biomass source for biogas, chemical production, biofuels, fabrication of biomaterials using starch based thermoplastic polymers.
