Admont sunflower is a high-yielding hybrid characterized by high adaptability to various soil-climate conditions, especially in the Forest Steppe and Steppe regions. Plants reach a height of 160 to 180 cm, have a thick upright stem, and form large golden flowers with a diameter of about 55 cm. The seeds of this sunflower are edible and contain a high oil content — from 48 to 50% — making the variety attractive for oil production.
The Admont hybrid has a medium-early maturity period (105-110 days) and high yield, reaching up to 55 centners per hectare. It exhibits resistance to major sunflower diseases, including downy mildew A-G, and demonstrates good drought and frost tolerance. High resistance to lodging and vigorous early growth ensure stable plant development even under adverse weather conditions.
For growing Admont sunflower, the recommended technology is the classical method with a planting density of 55-60 thousand plants per hectare. The hybrid responds well to application of the herbicide Granstar, which helps effectively control weeds and increase yield. Due to its characteristics and reliability, Admont sunflower is an optimal choice for farmers seeking high-quality yields across diverse agro-climatic zones.
