Sunflower 5024 A is a high-yielding simple hybrid of medium-early maturity with a vegetation period of 112-115 days and a yield of 55-60 c/ha. This hybrid is distinguished by increased resistance to herbicides based on tribenuron-methyl, which allows for effective control of a wide range of weeds with a single application of the preparation at a dosage of 50 g/ha. Additionally, 5024 A has a high level of resistance to downy mildew, rootlet wilt, as well as diseases such as Phoma and Alternaria, ensuring reliable crop protection and a stable yield.
Sunflower seeds 5024 A are characterized by simultaneous maturation and genetic uniformity, which simplifies crop care and harvest. Plants have medium height and uniform ear sizes, which facilitates agricultural practices. The hybrid tolerates drought conditions well and is not prone to seed shattering, which improves the quality and quantity of collected raw material. Due to increased ecological plasticity, sunflower 5024 A adapts to various soil and climatic zones, making it universal for cultivation in areas with different conditions.
Sunflower 5024 A is recommended for cultivation on fertile soils, preferably after grain crops, avoiding lands where legumes previously grew or salinity is observed. Seeds are divided into two main types — intensive and extensive, and by purpose — confectionery and oilseed. Oilseed varieties contain about 50% oil and can be monounsaturated, medium-oleic, and polyunsaturated, differing in fatty acid content. To obtain high-quality harvest, seeds must meet strict criteria for typicality, chaffiness, purity, germination, and moisture content. Thanks to Ukrainian breeding, hybrid 5024 A possesses adaptation to local conditions and high immunity to common diseases, making it a profitable choice for efficient and sustainable sunflower oil production.
