This single cross hybrid contains the Clearfield® Plus trait, with the benefit of improved weed control. In terms of yield potential and stability, it competes on an equal footing with the conventional hybrids. This hybrid is based on PAN 7049 genetics. PAN 7102CLP is slightly quicker than the other medium late hybrids. When planted in a package with other hybrids, its earlier flowering date helps manage the risk of Sclerotinia infection.

Water-soaked soft lesions develop on the back and white mycelium on the face of the head. Whitish mycelium turns into large flat, net-like
black sclerotia. The head disintegrates forming a broom-like structure
after shedding seed and sclerotia. Heads light tan in colour when
viewed from a distance.
Notes on disease:
Fungus: Sclerotinia sclerotiorum
Dark brown round/square lesions develop on leaves, stems, petioles
and heads, merge and form large dead areas. Individual lesions may
display a halo. Defoliation could follow. Alternaria may also cause
seedling blights. Leaf symptoms are often confused with Septoria Leaf
Spot and bacterial leaf infection; microscopic confirmation may be
required.
Notes on disease:
Fungus: Various Alternaria species (e.g. A. helianthi & A. zinneae, and others)
Angular to diamond-shaped brown necrotic lesions develop on the upper
leaf surface and lighter brown lesions on the lower leaf surface.
Could be confused with Alternaria Leaf Spot - microscopic confirmation
may be required. Small black fruiting bodies in the older lesions can
be seen with a 5x handlens - a diagnostic feature of Septoria.
Notes on disease:
Fungus: Septoria helianthi
Yellow raised, isolated spots develop on top of the leaf with white
spores produced on the lower leaf surface, and even on bracts of head.
Lesions can merge under heavy infection covering most of the leaf.
Superficial grey stem lesions (bruises) could develop and cause lodging.
Notes on disease:
Fungus: Pustula tragopogonis (Previously Albugo tragopogonis)
Main symptoms are chlorotic (yellow) areas between veins or affecting
entire leaves of seedlings. Underside of leaves covered with white
spores. Affected plants often die as seedlings, and if they survive,
the plants are stunted and produce horizontal heads with blank seeds.
Local lesions, which are angular yellow spots, may occur also. These
could be mistaken for white blister rust, but downy mildew lesions are
not raised
Notes on disease:
Fungus: Plasmopara halstedii
Airborne spores infect the lowest leaves first. Greyish white spots
develop on the top of the leaf surface. White spores produced above the
lesions give a powdery white appearance which eventually covers the
whole leaf surface. The disease will spread rapidly up the plant under
cool conditions with high humidity. Dense plant stands may lead to
increased disease.
Notes on disease:
Fungus: Golovinomyces cichoracearum
Lowest leaves usually become infected first. Small cinnamon/brown
rust pustules develop on both top and lower leaf surfaces. Later in
the season these pustules may turn black as the resting spores (telia)
develop. Infected leaves eventually wilt, dry up and die. Severe
infections will cause defoliation.
Notes on disease:
Fungus: Puccinia helianthi
Leaves, starting at the bottom of the plant, show interveinal
chlorosis near flowering giving it a mottled appearance. Chlorotic
tissue between veins eventually turns brown and become necrotic.
Chlorotic areas may appear quite yellow. Vascular system is discoloured
(cut across stem). Diseased plants occur in patches or individuals
throughout field and can display symptoms of sudden wilting of the
entire plant especially in hotter temperatures.
Notes on disease:
Fungus: Verticillium dahliae
Close inspection of sunflower heads show small dark spots on the
face. Cutting open the head reveals a slimy mass associated with a foul
smell. Foaming occurs and slime eventually runs down the stem and
leaves, and secondary colonisation leads to the plants and field
appearing black.
Notes on disease:
Complex of bacteria (Erwinia spp) and yeasts
Top leaves of the sunflower plant develop chlorosis and these symptoms are usually localised to one side of the plant.
Notes on disease:
Bacteria: Pseudomonas syringae pv. tagetis
Infection starts at the leaf margin and progresses down leaf petiole
forming a distinct dark or black lesion on the stem. Lesions only
superficial and affects only epidermal tissue, in contrast to that of
Phomopsis.
Notes on disease:
Fungus: Phoma macdonaldii
First symptoms seen prior to flowering on lower/middle leaves.
Infection starts at leaf margin, a necrotic area with chlorotic border
moves up the leaf to the mid-vein, resulting in a typical V-shape.
Infection progresses up the vein to the petiole and stem. Stem lesions
are brown, oblong, centred on the leaf axil and may be dotted at each
node. Lesions range from caramel to dark brown, may have water soaked
appearance and sometimes a black edge. Pith damage can lead to lodging
and/or early senescence. At maturity, Phomopsis lesions can develop
silvery-grey centres.
Disease often confused with Phoma which has very black and more oval lesions.
Notes on disease:
Fungus: Diaporthe helianthi, Diaporthe gulyae (Previously Phomopsis). Other species may be involved.
Often associated with water pooling in the back of the head. Sunken
brown spots develop on the back of the head and no sporulation inside
the head distinguishes it from Rhizopus. Heads are distinctly covered
by a grey mouldy growth. These hulls of seeds from infected heads are
highly flammable. At maturity, the heads may shred giving them a
broom-like appearance. Check for sclerotes to help avoid confusion with
sclerotinia head rot.
Notes on disease:
Fungus: Botrytis cinerea
Brown sunken water-soaked lesions develop on the back of the flower.
The interior of the head becomes soft and filled with grey or
dirty-white mycelium. Characteristic black pepper grain-like
spore-bearing structures are visible in mycelium. Head eventually rots
completely and dries up (mummifies).
Notes on disease:
Fungus: Rhizophus microsporus
Symptoms only observed at flowering when leaves turn yellow and plant
wilts. Silvery-grey stem lesions develop at the soil surface.
Mircosclerotia (visible with a hand lens) form on the outside of the
taproot and within the lower stem. Split open lower stalk to reveal
unique compression of pith into layers. Pith tissue dries up resulting
in premature senescence and poor head fill.
Notes on disease:
Fungus: Macrophomina phaseolina
Virus causes distortion (crinkle) of the leaves, irregular yellow
vein banding, chlorotic blotches and reduced leaf size. The affected
plants normally become stunted.
Notes on disease:
Virus: Possibly Umbravirus
Most distinct symptom is a wedge-shaped sector in the sunflower head
where abnormal growth took place, no seed is set and leaves form in
these sectors.
Notes on disease:
Mycoplasmas
Larvae of the African bollworm (Noctuidae) are regularly present
during the reproductive stage of cultivated sunflower. They feed on
leaves, bracts, florets, pollen and achenes and burrow into the
receptacle. Sunflower plants can tolerate large numbers of larvae, as
the preferred feeding sites of larvae are not the florets and achenes.
Notes on disease:
Insect: Helicoverpa armigera (Noctuidae)
The larvae feed mainly on the leaves of plants. If large numbers are
present, defoliation may occur and the stems of the flower buds may be
damaged. Damage does not occur on the edges of fields and is therefore
not visible from outside the field.
Notes on disease:
Insect: Trichoplusia orichalcea (Noctuidae)
Crops are damaged from March onwards when headlands or adjacent weedy
crop fields, hosting the bug, are cultivated. Insects move from weeds
during senescence and die-off prior to winter, to late planted sunflower
during seed fill. Developing sunflower seeds are pierced and the
contents are sucked from it. After seed-set, feeding reduces grain
yield and seed germination, while oil content of seed can also be
reduced.
Notes on disease:
Insect: Nysius natalensis
