Pokora

Sunflower hybrid Pokora is a high-yielding mid-early hybrid developed by LLC "AF NPP AGROMIR" and submitted for state testing in 2024. The vegetation period is approximately 105-110 days, and plant height reaches 170-175 cm. The hybrid is characterized by high oil content in seeds — up to 52% — ensuring high economic efficiency during processing. Yield potential reaches 47 centners per hectare, confirmed by test results in the Forest Steppe zone, where in the extremely dry 2024 season, average yield amounted to 37.5 centners per hectare.

One of the key features of hybrid Pokora is its high resistance to various diseases and stress factors. It exhibits very high resistance to lodging and drought, as well as high resistance to shattering. The hybrid shows excellent protection against gray and white mold of heads, scoring 9 out of 10 in these parameters. Additionally, it is resistant to diseases such as black stem, powdery mildew, fomopsis, and rust, significantly reducing the risk of yield losses.

Hybrid Pokora is resistant to herbicides containing tribenuron-methyl (SU), including products Granstar, Express, and Goldstar, enabling effective weed control with herbicide application rates up to 50 g/ha single application or two applications at 25 g/ha. Recommended planting density varies depending on the growing zone: in the Forest Steppe zone — 60-65 thousand plants per hectare, in the Steppe zone — 50-55 thousand plants per hectare. These parameters ensure optimal plant development and maximum yield under various climatic conditions.
