N 15 KL 062 HO — this is an ultra-early sunflower hybrid, possessing high adaptability and stability under various soil-climatic conditions. It is intended for sowing over a wide range of dates — from mid-April to mid-July, enabling its use for both main and secondary sowings, including re-sowings and inter-row sowings. Its early vegetation period allows for the possibility of obtaining two harvests per year, and also enables harvesting without desiccation, which is especially important for subsequent wheat sowing. The hybrid's yield potential reaches 35 ц/га under optimal conditions, while for secondary sowings, the yield varies from 8 to 18 ц/га, considered an excellent indicator. The hybrid is characterized by high oil content in seeds — from 46 to 52%, with a high oleic acid level up to 90%, improving oil quality. Plants are medium-height, ranging from 155 to 170 cm, with large flower heads of 18-24 cm in diameter and seed mass per 1000 seeds of approximately 61-70 g. Planting density at harvest time is 50-60 thousand plants per hectare. Due to its high drought and heat resistance, as well as resistance to diseases such as sclerotinia, phomopsis, gray and white rot, rust, and various races of downy mildew (A-G+), the hybrid demonstrates excellent viability and stable yields even under adverse conditions. Special attention is given to seed protection and pre-sowing treatment: seeds are treated with the fungicide Fayer and treated with an NPKS nutrient complex and humate concentrate, promoting rapid and uniform germination. High resistance to lodging and seed shattering at maturity ensures yield preservation. Due to its characteristics, N 15 KL 062 HO is suitable for cultivation in all climatic zones and is a reliable choice for farmers aiming to achieve high-quality sunflower yields.
