F 74231 is a sunflower hybrid developed using modern technologies, including nanotechnology, which ensures high yield and resistance to adverse conditions. The hybrid is highly drought-tolerant and can successfully grow under drought and high-temperature conditions, as confirmed by trials in various countries with harsh climates. The vegetation period is 110-115 days, plant height reaches 165-170 cm, and the diameter of the large flat head varies from 18 to 24 cm.
The hybrid F 74231 is resistant to seven races of downy mildew (downy mildew) A-G+, as well as to diseases such as false powdery mildew, gray and white rot, rust, and lodging. The SUMO technology allows effectively combating sunflower downy mildew, ragweed, and other weeds in the field, as well as tolerating a single application of the herbicide Granstar at a rate of 50 grams, which significantly simplifies crop maintenance. Oil content in the seeds is 50-52%, making this hybrid attractive for producing high-quality oil.
The hybrid F 74231 is suitable for both commercial and family farming, ensuring stable oil yield and high productivity. It is recommended for cultivation aimed at obtaining high-quality oil and biofuel. Yield of the hybrid ranges from 37 to 45 centners per hectare, confirming its efficiency and market demand for sunflower seeds.
