Sunflower variety DONSKOY 59 is one of the highest oil-content varieties, widely used in agricultural practice. This early-maturing variety with a vegetative period of about 95-100 days is distinguished by high adaptability to different soil types and climatic conditions, enabling successful cultivation in various agro-ecological zones. Plants reach a height of about 185 cm, and the flower head diameter varies from 17 to 25 cm. Seeds are dark almost black in color with weak dark-gray striping, containing 50-54% oil, making the variety especially attractive for oil production. DONSKOY 59 demonstrates high resistance to a number of diseases and stress factors. It is resistant to downy mildew, false powdery mildew, verticillium wilt, sunflower rust, and also tolerant to phomopsis and drought. Thanks to these qualities, the variety maintains high yield and seed quality even under adverse conditions. The recommended plant stand density prior to harvest is 35-40 thousand plants per hectare in the Steppe zone and 42-55 thousand plants per hectare in the Forest-Steppe zone, although the variety poorly tolerates dense planting. The potential yield of the variety reaches 36 centners per hectare, with average yields ranging from 35.3 to 39.9 centners per hectare. Seed purity is 22-24%, which further enhances processing efficiency. Thanks to the combination of high oil content, disease resistance, and adaptability to various soil-climatic conditions, sunflower DONSKOY 59 is a reliable choice for producers seeking a stable and high-quality yield.
