Sunflower ES Venicia is a simple hybrid developed to achieve high yield and stable vegetation period. It is characterized by high tolerance to stress conditions and resistance to major diseases, including Phomopsis and various races of downy mildew (A-E). Thanks to these traits, the variety is suitable for cultivation in various climatic zones, making it a versatile choice for agricultural producers.
The plant reaches a height of approximately 175 cm, with a flower head diameter of about 21 cm, featuring a characteristic downward tilt. The 1000-seed weight is 67 grams, indicating good seed quality. The vegetation period of the hybrid is approximately 106 days from emergence to harvest, with the period from emergence to flowering lasting around 70 days. Oil content of the seeds reaches 48%, ensuring the production of high-quality oil.
Recommended planting density depends on soil moisture levels: for zones with insufficient moisture, the optimal density is 50-55 thousand plants per hectare, while for zones with adequate moisture, it is 60-65 thousand per hectare. High germination rate and stable yield make ES Venicia a reliable choice for farmers aiming to maximize output under various agro-climatic conditions.
