Sunflower Krepysh

Early Maturation and High Oil Yield

The «Krepysh» sunflower hybrid is a proven solution for farms aiming to secure high commercial returns within a tight timeframe. With a vegetation period of 90–100 days, this hybrid is ideal for regions at risk of early autumn frosts or for those practicing intensive crop rotation, allowing fields to be cleared for winter crops as early as August.

Economic Efficiency

The main advantage of «Krepysh» is its high oil content, ranging from 50% to 55%. For farmers, this translates to excellent market liquidity when supplying processing plants. The narrow, egg-like black seeds provide superior flowability and bulk density, simplifying logistics and storage operations.

Agrotechnical Benefits

• Pathogen Resistance: Developed by the V.S. Pustovoit All-Russian Research Institute of Oil Crops, this hybrid features high biological protection. It demonstrates significant tolerance to downy mildew and effective resistance to phomopsis, which helps reduce expenditure on chemical fungicide treatments.
• Field Performance: With a plant height of 150–160 cm, the crop is highly resistant to lodging, ensuring efficient mechanized harvesting with minimal seed loss.
• Head Structure: The medium-sized, flattened yet slightly convex head ensures uniform seed maturation, which is critical for preventing seed shattering during the harvest period.

«Krepysh» is a reliable choice for operations requiring predictable results: high oil yield paired with moderate plant height and an accelerated cultivation cycle.
