COLIBRY

Striped birdseed sunflower

COLIBRY is an evenly striped sunflower breed suitable for bird seed production. COLIBRY combines its excellently healthy leaves and stems with superior mildew tolerance and very little susceptibility to Phoma and Sklerotinia (stem and anthodium). Furthermore, its high plant stability guarantees a safe harvest even under moist ripening conditions. COLIBRY also shines with outstanding yield performance (significantly higher than several striped competitors in 2022). Just like the oil sunflower varieties SY BACARDI and RGT VOLLCANO CLP, COLIBRY can be treated with a post-emergence Pulsar Plus application. We strongly recommend the application of Pulsar Plus using the splitting method instead of a one-time treatment with the full application rate.
