Sunflower AT 2616

Sunflower AT 2616 is a high-yielding hybrid with high resistance to adverse conditions and diseases. This hybrid is characterized by high drought tolerance and pest resistance, ensuring a stable harvest even under challenging climatic conditions. The vegetative period is approximately 110-115 days, allowing effective planning of sowing and harvest operations. Plant height reaches 165-170 cm, and large flat heads with a diameter of 18-24 cm ensure high seed yield.

Hybrid AT 2616 features high seed oil content — from 50 to 52% — making it especially attractive for oil production. Seeds have high test weight (about 99.7%) and low hull content (21-22%), facilitating processing and increasing oil yield. The genetic yield potential reaches 60 c/ha, confirming the high productivity of this variety. Moreover, the hybrid is resistant to various races of downy mildew (A-G+), false powdery mildew, gray and white mold, and rust, significantly reducing the risk of yield loss.

A distinctive feature of sunflower AT 2616 is its high-oleic type, indicating increased oleic acid content in the oil. Oleic acid is a monounsaturated fatty acid considered more beneficial for human health compared to saturated fats. Oil from this sunflower is widely used in culinary and food industries, helping to reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases and improve overall health. Thus, AT 2616 is a versatile and profitable choice for farmers focused on producing high-quality and beneficial sunflower oil.
