Sunflower NR 011 B is a medium-early hybrid of the oilseed type, developed taking into account the specifics of the Ukrainian climate. It features high growth intensity in the early stages of development and demonstrates excellent adaptation to various conditions, including drought. Plant height ranges from 150 to 190 cm, ensuring optimal space utilization and contributing to high yields reaching 50-60 centners per hectare. The hybrid is recommended for cultivation in steppe and forest-steppe zones, which cover most of Ukraine.
One of the key features of NR 011 B is its high resistance to common sunflower diseases such as downy mildew, rust, and powdery mildew. This significantly reduces the risk of crop losses and lowers costs for plant protection. Additionally, the hybrid exhibits resistance to lodging and shattering, which simplifies harvesting and improves the quality of the harvested raw material. NR 011 B seeds are suitable for cultivation using the ClearField technology, which involves the use of imidazolinone group herbicides providing effective protection against weeds and downy mildew.
The cultivation technology for NR 011 B involves the use of specialized herbicides that allow for the elimination of all existing strains of downy mildew, which is particularly important for maintaining crop health. The hybrid exhibits high stress resistance and adaptability, making it a reliable choice for farmers aiming to achieve a stable and high-quality harvest. Thanks to the combination of high yield, disease resistance, and adaptability to various climatic conditions, sunflower NR 011 B is an efficient and promising solution for oilseed production.
