Sunflower IR 179 DMR

IR 179 DMR is a modern sunflower hybrid developed specifically for farmers in southern and eastern regions. It is created using the new herbicide technology AIR, which provides plant resistance to both Evolightning and Granstar herbicides. This feature allows selecting the most effective treatment method depending on weed composition and field conditions. Additionally, the AIR technology ensures genetic resistance to volunteer weed races A-G, eliminating the need for long-residual herbicides, which positively impacts crop rotation. The IR 179 DMR hybrid features stable high oil content in seeds, reaching 48-50%, as well as excellent drought resistance and rapid vegetative growth. Seeds are characterized by high purity and resistance to powdery mildew, contributing to stable yields even under water deficit conditions. Thanks to its extensive hybrid type, achieving high yields does not require large amounts of fertilizers or frequent plant protection treatments, reducing cultivation costs. The recommended sowing rate is 40-55 thousand seeds per hectare, including a safety reserve, allowing one sack of seeds to cover an area of 2.7 to 3.75 hectares. This approach ensures optimal use of planting material and promotes effective yield formation. IR 179 DMR is a reliable choice for farmers seeking high-quality, drought-resistant sunflower.
