Sunflower F107VO

F107VO is a mid-early sunflower hybrid with a vegetation period of 107–110 days, intended for cultivation in Ukraine. It features a flat flower head that becomes convex and downward-sloping when fully dried. The hybrid exhibits high plasticity and stability, making it suitable for intensive cultivation techniques. Its high oil content — from 50 to 52% — makes it attractive for linseed oil production.

Plants of the F107VO hybrid reach a height of approximately 170–175 cm, and the 1000-seed mass varies from 53 to 73 grams depending on the fraction. The yield potential reaches up to 56 centners per hectare, while the average yield over test years is 42 centners per hectare. The recommended plant density at harvest depends on the moisture zone: 40–45 thousand plants per hectare in dry zones, up to 55–60 thousand in well-watered zones.

The hybrid demonstrates high resistance to major diseases and stress factors, including drought (rating 9 out of 10), winter hardiness (8), black stem (8), downy mildew (8), powdery mildew (8), phomopsis (9), rust (8–9), false powdery mildew (8), gray mold (8–9), white mold (8–9), and tolerance to various races of sunflower aphid — wolf (ABCDEFG). Additionally, F107VO is resistant to sunflower moth. The hybrid does not exhibit phytotoxicity after treatment with CLEARFIELD® herbicide system, ensuring no delays in plant development.
