AS 33104 KL sunflower hybrid is a high-oleic variety with high yield potential, reaching up to 4.9 t/ha. It is classified as mid-early maturing, with a vegetative period of about 105 days. Mature plants reach a height of 1.8 meters, and the 1000-seed mass is 68 grams. The high oleic content in the seeds — 51% — makes this hybrid particularly valuable for oil production.
AS 33104 KL is characterized by high initial growth energy and resistance to herbicides from the imidazolin group, providing effective weed control. The hybrid also demonstrates resistance to various diseases and stress factors: cold tolerance is rated at 9 points, resistance to wilting — 8 points, and resistance to the parasite 'vovchuk' and fungal diseases such as Phomopsis, sclerotinia, and rust — is at a high level. This makes it a reliable choice for cultivation under various climatic conditions, including zones with insufficient and adequate moisture.
Recommended planting density varies depending on growing conditions: 60-70 thousand plants per hectare in dry areas and 70-75 thousand per hectare in zones with adequate moisture or irrigation. The hybrid is suitable for direct seeding and is recommended for cultivation in the forest-steppe zone. Due to its drought and cold resistance, high yield, and high oil content, AS 33104 KL is an effective and profitable choice for agricultural producers.
