Sunflower hybrid Drive is an early-maturing, compact, and well-balanced hybrid throughout its development, intended for oilseed use. It belongs to the linoleic type and is characterized by high yield, especially under stress conditions, making it an optimal choice for extensive cultivation technologies. Potential grain yield ranges from 45-48 c/ha, with 1000-seed mass varying from 57 to 59 grams, and oil content reaching 48-51%.
The hybrid exhibits high drought tolerance and disease resistance, including very high resistance to powdery mildew and high resistance to gray mold. Additionally, it demonstrates a high level of self-pollination and forms good heads, contributing to a stable and high-quality yield.
For harvesting sunflower Drive, specialized equipment is recommended, which is integrated with combine harvesters. Such equipment includes a frame, screw, seed conveyors, stem shredders, dividers, and cutting units, ensuring maximum quality seed collection with minimal losses during harvest.
