SUNFLOWER 1012 A is a mid-early hybrid with a vegetative period of about 108 days, intended for cultivation using the Granstar technology. It is characterized by a high oil content in seeds — 49-50%, which ensures high oil content and a yield potential of up to 55 c/ha. The hybrid is drought-resistant and resistant to various diseases, making it a reliable choice for farmers, especially in conditions of insufficient moisture.
To achieve maximum productivity, it is recommended to grow sunflower on fertile soils with classical or deep processing. Optimal seeding density depends on the moisture zone: in conditions of sufficient moisture — up to 54 thousand plants per hectare, in arid regions — 45-50 thousand plants. It is important to avoid early sowing in unheated soil and not to overcrowd the crops to ensure good development and formation of large, well-filled heads.
SUNFLOWER 1012 A requires balanced nutrition with micronutrients such as boron, iron, manganese, zinc, and molybdenum, which is especially important for full development and stress resistance. Seed treatment and foliar feeding contribute to improved plant nutrition, increase their resistance to unfavorable conditions, and promote stable yield formation. The hybrid also exhibits resistance to broadleaf weeds, which facilitates agricultural management and increases production efficiency.
