SUNFLOWER NA 108 A

Technological Potential of the НА 108 A Hybrid

The breeding portfolio of NPK Selektsiya has expanded with the НА 108 A sunflower hybrid, designed for intensive farming systems. The core engineering focus in this simple hybrid’s genetics lies in managing phytosanitary risks and optimizing oil metabolic pathways.

Phytopathological Protection

A key feature of НА 108 A is its complex immune system encoded in its genotype. Resistance to pathogens is built upon a multi-level barrier:

• Root and Stem Integrity: High tolerance to white and grey rot minimizes lodging risks and yield loss during periods of high soil moisture.
• Foliage Health: Genetic resistance against phoma, phomopsis, and downy mildew preserves leaf photosynthetic activity right up to the head maturation phase.

Agrotechnical Advantages

Integration into the "Euro-Lightning" production system enables clean cultivation without the need for mechanical inter-row tillage. This system effectively manages a wide spectrum of weeds and broomrape without compromising the physiological development of the sunflower crop.

The oil content ranges between 50-55%. A consistently high oil yield is achieved through efficient achene filling, even under fluctuating moisture conditions. The physiology of this simple hybrid ensures crop uniformity, which is critical for combine harvester calibration and minimizing harvest losses. НА 108 A serves as a strategic tool for agronomists aiming for predictable profitability through chemically protected cropping and high-quality oilseeds.
