Sunflower variety Cinderella is a confectionery Ukrainian selection variety, distinguished by its early maturity and high technological quality of seeds. The vegetation period is 107-110 days, and plants reach a height of 180-190 cm. The large, convex head promotes uniform seed ripening, ensuring a stable and high yield — up to 34 centners per hectare. Seed oil content ranges from 43-45%, with a low linolenic acid content of 22-24%, which is optimal for this type of sunflower.
The variety exhibits high resistance to major diseases and stress factors, including fusarium, false powdery mildew, and downy mildew (races A-E), making it a reliable choice for cultivation under various climatic conditions. Cinderella tolerates adverse external factors, including water deficiency and weak light, making it suitable for regions with varying degrees of moisture. The recommended planting density varies from 30,000 to 34,000 plants per hectare in well-watered zones and from 20,000 to 25,000 plants per hectare in drier regions.
Sunflower Cinderella is characterized by its low maintenance and ease of care, making it suitable for both large agricultural enterprises and private gardeners and hobbyists. To achieve maximum productivity, fertilizer should be applied before sowing, especially in the absence of autumn fertilizer. This variety combines high germination, disease and stress resistance, and favorable agronomic traits, ensuring a stable and high-quality yield.
