Sunflower B 7313 U

Working with «V 7313 U»

When discussing hybrids from the «Novagrain Selection Center», experienced agronomists prioritize plasticity. The «V 7313 U» hybrid is exactly where three-line selection proves its worth in the field.

Adaptability and Disease Resistance

With increasingly unpredictable summers, a crop's ability to withstand pathogens is paramount. «V 7313 U» reliably resists phomopsis and various types of rot, including white and charcoal rot. In practice, this means fewer fungicide treatments, significantly lowering the production cost per ton. The convex shape of the seed head allows moisture to shed quickly, minimizing rot risks during a rainy autumn.

Technological Features

• Herbicide Compatibility: The main advantage is compatibility with the «Euro-Lightning» system.
• Vegetation Period: The 90–100 day cycle makes this sunflower an ideal component for crop rotation.
• Oil Content: The 45–50% oil content is confirmed not just on paper, but by elevator measurements. The seeds are heavy, full, and well-developed.

Harvesting Efficiency

Standing at 150–160 cm, the plant is not prone to lodging, which simplifies combine operation. The moderate height allows the header to handle less biomass, and the uniformity of the crops makes the threshing process nearly continuous. During drying, the grain does not require extreme temperatures, which saves energy costs for the farm.
