The sunflower hybrid "Pronto" is an early-maturing variety with high yield, reaching up to 55 c/ha, and high oil content of up to 52%. The plants are of medium height, which ensures convenience in agronomy and harvest collection. Thanks to the early sowing date, "Pronto" allows for effective use of agronomic periods and obtaining a stable yield under various climatic conditions.
One of the key features of the hybrid is its increased resistance to pests and diseases, including various races of the sunflower moth parasite (A-N), as well as such diseases as verticillium wilt, phoma, and downy mildew. Moreover, the variety is distinguished by high drought tolerance and heat resistance, which makes it particularly valuable for cultivation in the conditions of the Polesie, Forest-steppe, and Steppe regions of Ukraine.
The recommended sowing density varies depending on the region's moisture: from 65 to 75 thousand plants per hectare in moderately wet areas and from 55 to 65 thousand in arid zones. One bag contains about 150,000 seeds, which ensures convenience in planning sowing operations and optimal use of seed material.
