Sunflower OD 391 A

Genetic Heritage and Adaptability

The «OD 391 A» sunflower hybrid is the result of in-depth selection work by the Plant Breeding and Genetics Institute (Odessa) and serves as an example of high-quality adaptation of seed material to specific growing conditions. The developer and manufacturer is the Scientific Production Seed Company Agroseamtrans, which ensures a full cycle of quality control. This hybrid occupies a significant niche in the Clearfield technology segment, aimed at controlling weeds and broomrape.

Agrotechnical Indicators

A key advantage of this hybrid is its resistance to imidazolinone herbicides (Euro-Lightning system). This allows farmers to effectively control field weediness without damaging crop plants. In terms of its physical characteristics, the hybrid demonstrates high plasticity:

• Plant height varies from 160 to 200 cm, allowing the hybrid to adapt to different soil types and moisture levels.
• A strong stalk ensures resistance to lodging, which is critical for mechanized harvesting.
• Genetic selection is aimed at realizing yield potential even with moderate agrotechnical inputs.

The reputation of «OD 391 A» is based on yield predictability. Under intensive farming conditions, it demonstrates stable head filling and high oil content. The use of this hybrid is justified in regions with high weed pressure that require strict chemical control during the early stages of sunflower development.
