Sunflower NK Dueta is an early hybrid with a vegetation period of 91-94 days, allowing for harvest within a short time. Plants reach an average height of 145-165 cm, with medium-sized, convex, and slightly inclined heads. Seed test weight is 430-435 g/l, indicating good seed quality. This hybrid has high oil content — oil content ranges from 47 to 50%, and oleic acid content reaches 80%, positively affecting oil quality.
The NK Dueta hybrid is resistant to herbicides in the imidazolinone group, enabling effective use of the Clearfield cultivation technology, providing weed control without harming the crop. It also exhibits high resistance to lodging, heat tolerance, and drought resistance, making it a reliable choice for cultivation in various climatic conditions, including steppe and forest-steppe zones. High resistance to stress factors and diseases, such as false powdery mildew (race PL 6), contributes to stable and high yields.
The recommended sowing rate is 50,000-55,000 seeds per hectare in steppe zones and 60,000-62,000 seeds per hectare in forest-steppe zones. Yield of the hybrid reaches 50 centners per hectare, making it one of the leaders in productivity among sunflower hybrids under the Clearfield system. Due to its characteristics and adaptability, NK Dueta is an optimal choice for farmers seeking high-quality and stable sunflower yields.
