IA 919 is a hybrid sunflower distinguished by high yield and high oil content in seeds, reaching 49-53%. This hybrid belongs to mid- and early-maturing varieties with a vegetative period of about 90-100 days, allowing its use in various climatic conditions, including northern regions. Plant height typically does not exceed 165-170 cm, and the flower head diameter can reach 24 cm, which contributes to good yield formation.
IA 919 seeds are resistant to diseases and pests and are adapted to various soil types, ensuring stable yields even under adverse conditions. Due to resistance to herbicides based on tribenuron-methyl, this hybrid enables effective control of broadleaf weeds, simplifying agronomic practices and increasing cultivation profitability. Moreover, the hybrid demonstrates good drought resistance and rapidly decomposes in soil, positively affecting subsequent crops.
IA 919 is widely used in agriculture for producing sunflower oil and processed products such as kozinaki and halva. Its early maturity allows farmers to clear fields earlier and prepare them for winter crop planting, improving crop rotation and overall agricultural efficiency. Traditional sunflower seed cultivation technology for this hybrid ensures high-quality seed material and stable yield performance.
