D 67

D 67 — a mid-early sunflower hybrid developed by the Ukrainian selection NK 'GRAN' and intended for planting in the Steppe and Forest-Steppe zones of Ukraine. This hybrid is distinguished by its high adaptability to various soil-climatic conditions, ensuring rapid early growth and stable high yields. The flower head is flat and downward-facing, which contributes to efficient yield formation. D 67 is resistant to six races of downy mildew (A, B, C, D, E, F) and has a high oil content — 47-48% — making it attractive for producing high-quality sunflower oil.

The hybrid is characterized by high tolerance to diseases and stress factors. It is drought-resistant, winter-hardy, and shows resistance to diseases such as black leg, powdery mildew, frogeye, rust, downy mildew, gray and white mold. Additionally, D 67 is resistant to sunflower moth and does not exhibit phytotoxicity after treatment with imidazolinone herbicides, allowing the application of the Clearfield® cultivation system (UNDER EUROLIGHT). The recommended plant density for harvest varies depending on soil moisture levels and ranges from 45 to 65 thousand plants per hectare.

Sunflower D 67 is widely used for oil production, applicable in food and technical industries. Due to its high protein content in by-products, it is also used as animal feed. The hybrid's yield potential reaches 50 centners per hectare, significantly exceeding previous years' results and meeting modern requirements for intensive agriculture. Thus, D 67 represents a reliable and high-yielding choice for farmers seeking maximum productivity and crop resilience.
