Overview
About this product
A mid-early high-oleic sunflower hybrid of the moderately intensive type for the conventional system, with a semi-inclined head. Oil content is 49–51%, oleic acid content 90–91%.
The maker points to protection of the harvest in regions at risk of broomrape infestation thanks to genetic resistance. Avoid sowing closer than 300–400 m to linoleic hybrids, and avoid early sowing dates.
The recommended density is 45–50 thousand plants/ha in the zone of insufficient moisture and 50–55 thousand plants/ha in the zone of sufficient moisture. Sow at a depth of 3–4 cm at a soil temperature of 10–12 °C.
The hybrid is recommended for the Steppe, Forest-Steppe and Polissia.
