Sunflower Floki

Agronomic Profile of the Floki Hybrid

The 2025 novelty from the "Novoiehorivka-Agro" farm, the Floki sunflower, is a mid-early oilseed hybrid specifically developed for the Forest-Steppe zone of Ukraine. This F1 hybrid combines modern breeding standards with high field stability.

Field Performance and Resilience

Floki exhibits a balanced growth habit with a medium plant height and a robust, straight stem that ensures excellent lodging resistance. The upper part of the stem features dense pubescence, providing a natural defense mechanism. The large, slightly convex head faces downward at maturity, which helps protect the seeds from excessive moisture and bird damage.

• Drought and Heat Tolerance: The hybrid's leaf structure and moderate green intensity allow for efficient transpiration control. The leaf venation angle supports optimal moisture distribution, helping the plant withstand heat stress during the grain-filling period.
• Disease and Development: The mid-early maturity group allows the crop to complete its critical growth stages before the peak summer heat. The absence of branching ensures that all plant energy is directed toward the development of large, high-quality achenes.
• Adaptability: Specifically bred for the Forest-Steppe agro-climatic zone, Floki shows consistent performance and high oil content, making it a reliable choice for intensive farming systems.

Floki is a high-tech solution for farmers seeking a predictable, high-yielding sunflower hybrid with superior seed size and field stability.
