DONSKOY 49 A

The Donskoy 49 A sunflower variety is one of the highest oil-content and earliest maturing varieties grown in Ukraine. The vegetation period is about 100 days, allowing for an early harvest. Plants reach a height of 120 to 140 cm, and the head diameter varies between 18-22 cm. The seeds are dark with a slight striped pattern, containing 49 to 54% oil, which makes this variety particularly attractive for the oilseed industry.

The variety is characterized by high adaptability to various soil types and resistance to adverse climatic conditions, including drought. It shows resistance to major sunflower diseases such as downy mildew and Verticillium wilt, as well as to pests, including sunflower moth and sunflower weevil. Thanks to these qualities, Donskoy 49 A demonstrates stable productivity with yields ranging from 25.2 to 39.9 c/ha depending on growing conditions.

For optimal development and maximum yield, it is recommended to maintain a certain plant density: 35-40 thousand per hectare in the Steppe zone and 42-50 thousand per hectare in the Forest-Steppe zone. The variety is resistant to lodging, which facilitates harvesting and reduces crop losses. Donskoy 49 A is suitable for classical cultivation technology and is a reliable choice for farmers seeking high-quality oilseed raw material with good yield and stress resistance.
