FS 703

FS 703 sunflower represents a mid-early hybrid of oilseed purpose, possessing high yield and stability in various climatic conditions. Plants reach a height of 160–180 cm, and the head diameter is about 25 cm. Seed oil content is at the level of 50–52%, which ensures the production of quality oil. The hybrid is distinguished by a strong root system, capable of extracting moisture from a depth of up to 3 meters, which contributes to sustainable development even under conditions of insufficient moisture.

FS 703 is characterized by high resistance to a wide range of diseases, including powdery mildew, phoma, gray and brown rot, septoria, bacterial blight, chlorosis, and brown spot. Moreover, the hybrid is resistant to seven aggressive races of the sunflower moth parasite (A-G), which significantly reduces the risk of crop losses. Growing technology under the herbicide Gramoxone allows for effective weed control, ensuring optimal conditions for plant growth and development.

The recommended sowing density is about 53 thousand plants per hectare, which contributes to the maximum use of the area and achieving high yields, which can reach 35 hundredweight per hectare. FS 703 sunflower is suitable for growing in various regions and is used both for oil production and as a source of energy. Its reliability and adaptability make this hybrid a sought-after choice for agricultural producers.
