The F 71539 sunflower hybrid is a high-yielding variety with a genetic yield potential of up to 55 centners per hectare and a maturity period of 102-105 days. Plants reach a height of 150-170 cm, ensuring optimal growth and resistance to lodging. Seed oil content is 52-55%, making this hybrid attractive for producing high-quality oil. Seeds are supplied in branded bags with a new design developed in 2023, available in standard, extra, and extra plus fractions, allowing selection of the optimal variant for various planting conditions.
F 71539 exhibits high resistance to major sunflower diseases and pests. The hybrid is tolerant to races of the parasitic plant downy mildew (style A-G+), as well as to fusarium, rust, and other fungal diseases, confirmed by high ratings in these categories (up to 10/10). Moreover, the hybrid demonstrates excellent drought tolerance (9/10) and strong initial growth vigor (8/10), ensuring stable development even under challenging climatic conditions in the Steppe and Forest-Steppe regions.
A key feature of this hybrid is its adaptation to modern protection and cultivation technologies. Seeds are treated and protected, enabling the use of herbicides based on tribenuron-methyl without restrictions for crop rotation. The hybrid responds well to dense planting and ensures complete flower head filling, contributing to maximum yield. Thanks to its combination of high yield, disease resistance, and ease of agronomy, F 71539 is a reliable choice for farmers aiming to obtain a high-quality and stable sunflower harvest.
