Sunflower VK 653 represents an important agricultural crop with a powerful root system and a tall stem that can reach up to 6 meters in height. This plant is widely used in the food industry due to its high-quality sunflower oil, and is also applied in the paint and varnish sector. Additionally, sunflower VK 653 is a valuable component in the production of animal feed, making it a versatile and in-demand product of the agricultural sector.
To protect VK 653 sunflower crops from weeds, a systemic and soil herbicide is applied, which effectively destroys dicotyledonous and grass weeds, including various strains of sunflower thistle. The active substances of the herbicide — imazamox and imazapic — penetrate weeds through leaves, stems, and roots, disrupting the synthesis of vital amino acids, which leads to growth inhibition and the death of unwanted vegetation. This ensures healthy development of the sunflower and increases yield.
Sunflower VK 653 requires large areas for storage, which are typically located on elevators, allowing efficient preservation of the harvest until it is processed or sold. Due to its characteristics and resistance to weeds, this sunflower variety is a reliable choice for farmers seeking to obtain a high-quality and high-yielding harvest.
