AT 0521 is a mid-early sunflower hybrid characterized by high resistance to the herbicide Gramoxone and drought, making it a reliable choice for cultivation in various climatic conditions. The hybrid boasts high potential yield, reaching up to 57 centners per hectare, as well as resistance to the parasitic weed wild sunflower (stages A-G+). High oil content in seeds, ranging from 52 to 55%, ensures excellent technical indicators for vegetable oil production.
Recommended cultivation zones for this hybrid include the Steppe, Forest-steppe, and Forest-zone, indicating its adaptability to different soil and climatic conditions. Optimal plant density before harvest depends on moisture levels: 55-60 thousand plants per hectare is recommended with sufficient moisture, while 45-50 thousand are recommended in arid conditions. Such agronomy contributes to the maximum utilization of the hybrid's potential and increased yield.
Sunflower AT 0521 is widely used in the agricultural sector for the production of high-quality vegetable oil. Seeds of this hybrid are suitable for processing at oil-extraction plants, where efficient oil extraction and production of by-products such as meal and hulls are ensured. High disease and pest resistance, as well as good response to mineral fertilizers, make this hybrid in demand among farmers seeking stable and high yields.
