What a global trends in
sunflower production?
The sunflower market is developing in many directions
related to the development of knowledge and the emergence of new means of
production.
In this publication, we will consider the main
trends and prospects in the production of this crop.
Here are the main global trends in sunflower production:
-
an increase
of yield
per acre / hectare, there are many reliable cases when the sunflower
yield was 5.0-5.7 t / ha, and the world record in sunflower yield was
6.21 t / ha (2016)
-
creation of new
effective varieties of sunflower, thanks to the achievements of modern
genetics
-
the main directions
of research and breeding of sunflower: increased yield, oil yield,
resistance to diseases and pests, resistance to herbicides, resistance
to adverse factors, early maturity
-
breeding varieties
of sunflower that are resistant to the parasitic weed - broomrape
-
organic sunflower -
areas are expanding
-
high oleic sunflower
- areas are expanding
-
sunflower for
biopharming
-
improvement of
technologies for growing sunflower, thanks to the emergence of new
machines, pesticides, fertilizers and other agricultural chemistry
-
drip irrigation
for sunflower cultivation has become profitable, especially SDI, fertigation
and chemigation
-
for many years
Ukraine has been the global leader in the efficiency of growing and
producing of sunflower and sunflower oil
-
countries such as
Ukraine and the Russian Federation have the potential to increase the total
sunflower yields by 2-4 times
-
in Africa, more and
more begin to grow sunflower
-
in the zone of humid
climate, northern climate and acidic soils, more and more sunflower are
being grown, thanks to the emergence of new varieties and liming of
soils
-
fungicides on
sunflower: most farmers began to use fungicides on sunflower, the areas
of application of fungicides are increasing, some farmers use fungicides
3-4 times
-
growing sunflower
without herbicides, thanks to the emergence of machines for precise
mechanical weed control
-
the use of robots by
multinational chemical companies for the selection of norms and combinations of
pesticides for sunflower
-
global
integration in sunflower seeds sales
-
rejection of
presowing cultivation and late sowing in traditional regions of
sunflower production and continental climate: transition to early
sowing and weed control through the use of herbicides
-
expansion of
sunflower cultivation areas using Strip-Till and
CTF technologies and
their combination
-
growing sunflower as
a cover crop in mixtures with other crops
-
the emergence of
highly productive machines for growing sunflower (seeders, harvesters,
sprayers and fertilizer machines with a high clearance - at least 1.8 m)
-
the use of high
clearance sprayers and fertilizer applicators: this allows you to apply
agrochemistry when the sunflower is already tall and add yield and
profit
-
reduction of the area under sunflower, resistant to IMI herbicides
-
an increase in the
area under sunflower, resistant to tribenuron-methyl herbicide
-
the emergence of new
herbicides against ragweed weed - Arylex active from Corteva (Vibala,
Geliantex)
-
the use of
chemical desiccation of sunflower before harvesting in some countries (Ukraine,
Russian Federation)
-
application in some
countries of sunflower growth regulators - Architect (calcium prohexadione +
mepiquat chloride + pyraclostrobin) BASF (Ukraine)
-
the cultivation of
special varieties of sunflower specifically for poultry, decorative
purposes, fresh consumption and confectionery
-
more complete
processing of sunflower, the use of plant residues, straw and seed skins
for energy and mushrooms growing
-
incrustation or
calibration of sunflower seeds so that they are the same size,
especially for modern precision planters - so that the seeds are
placed
accurately and separately during sowing
-
increased
consumption of honey from sunflower, the emergence of technologies to
protect bees and get more honey
-
due to the fact that
the climate has changed and became warmer and drier, sunflower has
advantages, since sunflower is one of the most drought-resistant crops
