Aurelia

Aurelia is a powerful mid-early hybrid of sunflower, developed by breeders taking into account modern agrotechnical requirements. It is characterized by high yield, reaching up to 70 c/ha, and demonstrates stable productivity in various soil and climatic conditions. The hybrid has a medium-late spring resumption of vegetation and a medium flowering period, which allows it to fit optimally into the classic cultivation technology. The recommended sowing rate is 350–500 thousand plants per hectare, which ensures effective use of sowing area and maximum yield potential.

One of the key features of Aurelia is high resistance to major diseases, including fusarium (with a tolerance rating of 9 points on the scale), turnip yellow mosaic virus (TuYV), as well as shattering and pod cracking. The hybrid has high winter hardiness and drought resistance, making it a reliable choice for growing in complex climatic conditions. In addition, Aurelia is characterized by high oil content (rating 9 points) and low level of glucosinolates (less than 15 mmol/g), which positively affects the quality of the product.

From a morphological point of view, Aurelia is characterized by short stature and a compact pyramidal habitus with a large number of inflorescences and pronounced overall branching. The central head is located above the side inflorescences, which contributes to uniform development and maturation of seeds. A long vegetative period allows the hybrid to fully realize its potential in various growing conditions. All these characteristics make Aurelia the optimal choice for farmers seeking to reduce risks and ensure a stable high-quality yield.
