Sunflower VK 276 is a high-yield hybrid with an early maturity period, distinguished by stable yields under various climatic conditions. This variety belongs to the mid-early and early-maturing group, with a vegetation period ranging from 100 to 112 days. Plant height varies from 150 to 175 cm, while the head diameter reaches 21-23 cm, which promotes good seed formation and high product output.
One of the key features of VK 276 is the high oil content in seeds — from 49 to 51%, while the variety is characterized by a high oleic acid content (90-91%), making it a high-oleic sunflower. This feature improves oil quality, enhancing its stability and health benefits. The hybrid possesses increased tolerance to various diseases, including powdery mildew, black stem rot, and rust, and is resistant to weed races (sunsorrel) with a resistance level above G.
VK 276 is recommended for cultivation in the Northern Steppe and Forest-Steppe zones, where it demonstrates stable yields thanks to its adaptability and resistance to adverse factors. The cultivation technology of the hybrid provides for the use of express methods, as well as ensures double haploid resistance to herbicides, which facilitates crop care and increases the efficiency of oil production and other seed products.
