FT 260330 A is a mid-early sunflower hybrid with a vegetation period of 110-115 days, featuring high yield and resistance to adverse conditions. It has high genetic similarity to the hybrid PIONEER P64LE25 and is designed for cultivation under herbicides containing tribenuron-methyl, such as Granstar, Mistard, and Harpax. The hybrid is heat- and drought-tolerant, enabling stable yields even under extreme climatic conditions. Yield potential reaches 5.5 tons per hectare, with seed oil content of 50%.
The hybrid exhibits high resistance to new strains of false powdery mildew, as well as resistance to 7 races of the parasitic weed dodder. Additionally, it shows high resistance to root diseases such as lodging, Phomopsis, and white mold, significantly reducing yield losses and improving product quality. Plant height reaches 175-180 cm, and flower head diameter is 20-23 cm, facilitating convenient harvesting and seed processing.
Sunflower seeds FT 260330 A are rich in vitamins A, D, E, and B-group vitamins, as well as minerals — magnesium, zinc, fluorine, iron, calcium, and iodine. They contain amino acids and polyunsaturated fatty acids, which help lower cholesterol levels and slow cellular aging processes. Due to their high content of plant fats, the seeds are suitable for dietary and fasting diets, positively affecting the cardiovascular system, liver, and bile ducts. Oil extracted from these seeds is widely used in cosmetology for producing creams, scrubs, and toners.
