Sunflower hybrid S 227 M is a high-yielding and resilient variety suitable for cultivation under various climatic conditions. The seeds of this hybrid are large, black, with oil content up to 52%, ensuring high oil yield. The potential yield ranges from 27 to 35 centners per hectare, while actual yield can reach 5 tons per hectare. The hybrid is resistant to downy mildew (A-G+), drought, and several diseases, making it a reliable choice for farmers seeking stable and high-quality harvests.
For optimal cultivation, seed density should be maintained at 65,000–70,000 plants per hectare. The seeds are pre-treated, providing protection against pests and diseases during early growth stages. Sunflower S 227 M prefers fertile, moist soils with high clay content, but is unsuitable for overly acidic, waterlogged areas, or soils previously cultivated with legumes or sunflowers. Sowing should be conducted in open ground once soil temperature reaches at least 11°C, with seeds planted at a depth of 8 centimeters.
Hybrid S 227 M is characterized by its adaptability and low maintenance requirements, enabling cultivation on various soil types and in different climatic zones. Due to its high resistance to adverse conditions and diseases, as well as its high oil content, this sunflower is an advantageous choice for oil and other product production. Agricultural support and seed treatment provide additional protection and contribute to successful plant development, ultimately enhancing the economic efficiency of cultivation.
