INSUN 120

INSUN 120 — this is an early-maturing sunflower hybrid, suitable for conventional cultivation techniques as well as extensive and medium-intensity agronomy. It has a maturity period of 100-105 days and shows high yield potential, confirmed by stable results across various cultivation regions, including steppe and forest-steppe zones. The hybrid exhibits enhanced early vegetative development and early flowering, which contributes to successful yield formation even under limited water availability. One of the key features of INSUN 120 is its high resistance to major sunflower diseases. The hybrid possesses genetic resistance to false powdery mildew due to the presence of PL6 and PL9 genes, and is also resistant to verticillium, fomopsis, rust, sooty mold, and sclerotinia. Additionally, it demonstrates resistance to parasitic weeds of species A-G, significantly reducing the risk of parasitic plant infestation. The hybrid does not tend to lodging, which simplifies harvest and improves crop quality. INSUN 120 exhibits high adaptability to stressful growing conditions, including drought and increased solar radiation. The recommended planting density varies depending on water availability: 50-55 thousand plants per hectare under limited water, and 60-65 thousand under adequate conditions. The high oil content in the seeds makes this hybrid attractive for oil production. Thanks to its agronomic and morphobiological characteristics, INSUN 120 is a reliable choice for cultivation in various climatic zones, ensuring stable and high yields.
