CMS Kubansky 86 is a high-oleic sunflower hybrid distinguished by a combination of high yield and increased oleic acid content, reaching up to 86%. This medium-maturity hybrid has high resistance to diseases, including sunflower stem rust E, making it a reliable choice for cultivation in various climatic zones such as the forest-steppe, forest zone, and northern steppe. The recommended seeding rate varies depending on soil moisture: 50,000-55,000 seeds per hectare under insufficient moisture and 60,000-65,000 under sufficient moisture.
The CMS Kubansky 86 hybrid is characterized by good bee visitation, which promotes effective pollination and, consequently, stable yield. Research shows that sunflower seed yield is largely dependent on the duration of the growing period, especially the emergence-to-flowering period. This allows the hybrid to maximize the use of favorable conditions for forming a high yield and seed quality.
Moreover, CMS Kubansky 86 is a promising hybrid combination for further breeding trials, confirming its potential in agricultural practice. The high oleic acid content makes the oil from this sunflower more resistant to oxidation and beneficial for health, thereby increasing its commercial value. Thus, this hybrid represents an optimal solution for farmers seeking to produce a high-quality and high-yield product.
