Sunflower is the major summer oilseed crop grown in Australia and consumers are becoming more aware of the benefits of the various types of sunflower oil. The Hysun and Hyoleic range of hybrids from Pacific Seeds continue to provide growers with excellent performance for maximum returns.
The changing dynamics of the sunflower industry now indicate that three major sunflower types are required.
The traditional polyunsaturated sunflowers;
The mono-unsaturated market and;
The developing birdseed or confectionery market.
The market for monounsaturated (or high oleic) oil is increasing. Last season nearly 50% of the Australian crop was monounsaturated. Hyoleic 41 is the leading hybrid performer in this sector.
The Pacific Seeds Hysun sunflower range is available throughout the world. High yield potential, excellent disease protection and superior levels of drought tolerance make Hysun a popular choice for many of the world’s toughest growing conditions.
