NK Rocky (NK Rocky) is an early-maturing linoleic hybrid developed by Syngenta, characterized by high yield potential and stability under various climatic conditions. The vegetation period is 90-105 days, and the average plant height reaches 150-170 cm. The hybrid has high early growth energy, ensuring good development in early stages and successful adaptation to various sowing dates, including late optimal ones. Seeds are black and treated with the fungicide and insecticide Cruiser, enhancing protection against diseases and pests.

The hybrid is highly plastic and capable of continuing vegetative growth even under cool and rainy weather during and after flowering. It responds well to soil fertility and high agronomic potential, enabling stable and high yields with proper agronomic practices.
The oil content in the seeds reaches 53%, making NK Rocky attractive for producing high-quality oil. The hybrid is moderately intensive, providing a balance between yield and resistance to stressful conditions, including drought. Thanks to these characteristics, NK Rocky is a universal and reliable solution for farmers aiming to achieve high and stable sunflower yields.
