Sunflower MAS 823SU

Sunflower MAS 823SU is a medium-early express hybrid designed for extensive cultivation technologies. It is characterized by high plasticity and adaptability, allowing successful cultivation in various climatic zones, including the Polissya, Forest Steppe, and Northern Steppe. The hybrid demonstrates excellent early growth, enabling sowing in cold soil and minimal soil preparation. The recommended sowing rate varies depending on soil moisture: 50-55 thousand plants per hectare under insufficient moisture, and 60-65 thousand under adequate moisture.

One of the key features of MAS 823SU is high resistance to false powdery mildew (gene RM9), allowing early sowing even in waterlogged regions and fields with overused sunflower crop rotation. Additionally, the hybrid exhibits resistance to fusarium and sclerotinia, significantly reducing disease risks and enhancing crop stability. A strong, sturdy stem provides good resistance to lodging.

MAS 823SU is characterized by high oil content in seeds — 50-52%, making it profitable for oilseed production. The optimal plant density at harvest is 60-65 thousand per hectare. Thanks to the combination of high yield, disease resistance, and adaptability to various cultivation conditions, this hybrid is an effective and economical solution for farmers seeking high-quality and stable sunflower yields.
