NK Fortimi sunflower is an early-maturing hybrid developed for the Clearfield production system, providing resistance to herbicides, particularly to EuroLight and soil-applied herbicides of the acetochlor group such as Harness. This hybrid exhibits high tolerance to races A-E of downy mildew, significantly enhancing its disease resistance and ensuring stable yields even under adverse conditions.
The NK Fortimi hybrid is characterized by high growth energy in early development stages, ensuring good root establishment and plant development. It shows high plasticity to sowing dates, allowing for late planting without loss of yield. The hybrid responds well to soil fertility and high agronomic potential, enabling maximum utilization of agronomic practices to increase productivity.
One of the key advantages of NK Fortimi is its high oil content, reaching up to 51%, as well as high drought resistance, making it especially valuable in dry regions. The vegetation period ranges from 90 to 105 days, and potential yield can reach up to 5 tons per hectare. The recommended plant density at harvest is 45-55 thousand plants per hectare depending on soil moisture level, promoting optimal yield formation.
