Sunflower N 026 A

N 026 A Sunflower is a mid-early hybrid with high yield and adaptation to various climatic conditions. This hybrid is characterized by a maturation period of about 106-109 days and is intended for cultivation using herbicide control technology, specifically under the herbicide GramStar (ExpressSun). High potential yield reaches up to 5.5 tons per hectare, while oil content in seeds ranges from 47-49%, making this sunflower attractive for producing oilseed products. Seeds exhibit good adaptation to conditions in Ukraine and are suitable for cultivation in various regions, including forest-steppe, forest-zone, and steppe.

Hybrid N 026 A is distinguished by high resistance to major sunflower diseases, such as downy mildew, downy mildew, and rust, and possesses maximum control over various races of sunflower volunteer (resistance A-G + System II). In addition, the hybrid demonstrates high tolerance for petiole withering and has a powerful root system, ensuring drought resistance and resilience to adverse weather conditions. For protection against sclerotinia, the use of fungicides is recommended.

Recommended seeding density prior to harvest is 50-55 thousand plants per hectare in areas with sufficient moisture and 45-50 thousand plants per hectare under moisture-limited conditions. Plant height of the hybrid is below average, which facilitates agricultural operations. Seeds are supplied in bags of 150 thousand pieces and can be treated with Cruiser or Lumigen seed treatments for additional protection. All these characteristics make the sunflower N 026 A a reliable choice for farmers seeking stable and high yields of an oilseed crop.
