Jaquar II Sunflower is a mid-early hybrid of confectionery type, developed by Nuseed using Clearfield technology, which simplifies cultivation and provides herbicide resistance. The hybrid features large seeds measuring 17-18 mm and striped coloration, making it ideal for use as an unprocessed confectionery product. The vegetative period is 98-105 days, and plant height reaches 155-175 cm, promoting good water drainage and high yield.
Jaquar II exhibits high adaptability to soil-climatic conditions of central Ukraine, tolerates spring temperature fluctuations, summer heat, and short-term droughts. Due to its well-developed root system, the plant effectively absorbs water and nutrients, ensuring stable seed filling even under extreme conditions and with insufficient soil moisture. Additionally, a strong root system contributes to resistance against lodging, minimizing yield losses during harvest.
The hybrid shows moderate resistance to major sunflower diseases, such as downy mildew, white mold, frogeye, and false powdery mildew. The recommended planting density is 35-50 thousand plants per hectare, optimal for achieving maximum yield, which can reach up to 9 tons per hectare. High resistance to lodging and stress makes Jaquar II a reliable choice for producers seeking high-quality and stable sunflower yields.
