B 08

Sunflower B 08 is an early-maturing hybrid developed to achieve high productivity under various climatic and soil conditions. This variety is characterized by its early maturity and stable yield, allowing successful cultivation on all types of plots, including the Polissia, forest-steppe, and steppe regions. The plant height is medium, which facilitates harvesting and reduces the risk of lodging. The vegetation period is approximately 92–95 days, ensuring timely ripening and the possibility of obtaining an early harvest.

The hybrid exhibits high resistance to major sunflower diseases such as Phomopsis, rust, and sclerotinia, as well as tolerance to Sclerotinia (wolf) with an E level of resistance. Due to treatment with AGROSTART and PONCHO D150 seed treatments, additional protection and improved early growth are provided, rated at 8–9 out of 9. Drought resistance and lodging resistance are also at a high level, making this hybrid a reliable choice for cultivation under limited water conditions.

The oil content in the seeds of sunflower B 08 ranges from 43% to 51%, making it attractive for producing high-quality linseed oil. The recommended planting density varies depending on growing conditions: in areas with adequate moisture, the optimal density is 60–68 thousand plants per hectare, while under limited moisture conditions, it is 50–60 thousand. The 1000-seed mass falls within the range of 50–65 grams, indicating good yield potential, reaching 45–55 centners per hectare. All these characteristics make sunflower B 08 a profitable and versatile choice for farmers aiming for high efficiency and product quality.
