Sunflower GERONIMO SU is a high-yielding hybrid designed for sowing in various climatic zones. It features a stable yield and high resistance to adverse conditions, ensuring reliable and efficient cultivation. The seeds meet agricultural quality standards and are suitable for cultivation in steppe and forest-steppe regions.
The hybrid has a high oil content — approximately 50% — making it attractive for the oil industry. The vegetative period is approximately 110 days, with plants reaching a height of about 160 cm and a flower head diameter of 24 cm. GERONIMO SU exhibits resistance to herbicides, drought, and aggressive strains of the flea beetle, significantly reducing the risk of yield loss and simplifying agronomic practices.
To protect crops from pests, it is recommended to use the insecticide-acaricide Geronimo from Corteva, which contains acetamiprid and bifenthrin. This product provides effective control over a broad spectrum of pests, including aphids, bed bugs, thrips, caterpillars, weevils, and mites, thanks to its combination of contact-stomach and acaricidal action. It has a powerful knockdown effect and provides long-lasting protection for up to 16 days, is resistant to UV radiation, and remains stable across a wide pH range, making it ideal for integrated crop protection programs.
