Sunflower DÜNA is a mid-season hybrid characterized by high yield and good adaptability to various climatic conditions. The vegetative period is approximately 117-122 days, allowing the hybrid to be successfully grown in various regions, including Steppe, Forest Steppe, and Polesie. Plants reach a height of 140-160 cm, possess a strong and branched root system capable of absorbing moisture from depths up to 2.5 meters, ensuring drought and stress resistance. The sunflower head is convex-shaped with a diameter of 21-25 cm, seeds of medium size, black with gray or faint stripes. Hybrid DÜNA is characterized by high oil content in seeds, ranging from 45.5% to 50%, making it attractive for sunflower oil production. Yield potential reaches 50 centners per hectare, with average field yields around 35 centners per hectare, and in some regions, maximum yields reach up to 32.1 centners per hectare. Recommended plant density before harvest is 50-60 thousand per hectare, promoting optimal growth and maximum harvest. The hybrid exhibits high resistance to major diseases such as rust, fusarium, and white mold, as well as pests including sunflower moth. Lack of branching and early flowering contribute to uniform maturation and ease of agronomic operations. Green leaf color and moderate leaf surface pubescence ensure good photosynthetic activity of plants. All these characteristics make sunflower DÜNA a reliable choice for farmers seeking a stable and high-quality yield.
