GSF A 159 — an early-maturing, extensive hybrid sunflower of Serbian selection, intended for cultivation in various climatic zones, including the Forest-Steppe, Steppe, and Polесье. The vegetation period is 90-95 days, allowing successful use of this hybrid in different agroclimatic conditions. The hybrid is adapted for use with the herbicide Granstar Flash, ensuring effective control of broadleaf weeds and promoting plant development without competition.
One of the key features of GSF A 159 is high resistance to various races of the parasitic weed, wolf, which significantly reduces the risk of yield loss. Additionally, the hybrid demonstrates resistance to the latest races of powdery mildew and has drought tolerance, making it suitable for cultivation on nutrient-poor soils and under conditions of insufficient moisture. High oil content in seeds, reaching 51-53%, provides additional economic benefit during processing.
The hybrid GSF A 159 is characterized by high yield, which can reach 50-55 c/ha when agronomic requirements are met. Its resistance to herbicides based on tribenuron-methyl allows effective weed control without harm to the crop and does not impose restrictions on crop rotation. All these characteristics make GSF A 159 a reliable choice for farmers seeking a stable and high-quality sunflower harvest with high oil content.
