Sunflower NS H 7916 is a mid-early hybrid with a vegetation period of 108-111 days, developed by breeders of the Institute of Field Crops of Serbia. This simple, moderately intensive hybrid is characterized by high oil content in seeds, reaching 47-49%, ensuring high oil production efficiency. Plant height varies from 170 to 180 centimeters, promoting optimal crop development and yield.
The hybrid exhibits excellent resistance to lodging and drought, making it a reliable choice for cultivation under various soil-climatic conditions in Ukraine, including the Polesie, Forest-Steppe, and Steppe zones. Special attention has been paid to tolerance to aggressive races of the parasite *Amaranthus* (wolf), with resistance level A-G, significantly reducing the risk of yield losses. Additionally, the hybrid demonstrates high resistance to diseases such as froge (9 points) and rust (8 points).
The yield potential of NS H 7916 is approximately 5.2 tons per hectare (52 c/ha), confirming its high productivity and adaptability. The energy of initial growth is 7, which promotes rapid and uniform plant development in early stages. Thanks to its combination of high yield, resistance to stress factors and diseases, this hybrid is an optimal choice for farmers seeking a stable and high-quality sunflower harvest.
