Aidar

Aidar sunflower hybrid is an early-maturing variety with a vegetation period of 102–107 days, allowing effective planning of sowing dates and harvesting at optimal times. Plants reach a height of 150–160 cm, and the flower head diameter is 18–20 cm. The mass of 1000 seeds ranges from 55 to 65 grams, with oil content in seeds reaching 50–51%, ensuring high oil content and economic attractiveness of the hybrid.

Aidar exhibits high resistance to several common sunflower diseases, including fusarium, phomopsis, false powdery mildew, gray and white mold, as well as lodging. This makes it a reliable choice for cultivation in various agroclimatic conditions, especially in risky farming areas and arid zones. The hybrid is not demanding in soil fertility and can be successfully grown on soils with varying fertility levels, expanding its application potential.

Recommended planting density is 60–65 thousand plants per hectare, with optimal sowing dates being early (April 25–30) or late (May 15–30). Aidar is well-suited for extensive production and serves as an excellent predecessor for winter crops. Recommended cultivation zones include the forest-steppe and steppe regions of Ukraine, where the hybrid demonstrates stable yields of 49–50 centners per hectare.
