The hybrid sunflower OLEY is a mid-early, high-yielding variety with a high content of oleic acid in seed oil, reaching 72%. The vegetation period of the hybrid is approximately 107-118 days, allowing it to grow successfully under various climatic conditions, particularly in the Central Chernozem, North Caucasus, and Lower Volga regions. The thousand-seed mass is approximately 56.5 grams, and the oil content of the seeds varies from 52 to 55% depending on soil fertility, ensuring high economic efficiency of cultivation.
Plants of the OLEY hybrid are characterized by high leafiness and height of 170 to 180 cm. The sunflower head has a diameter of 18-22 cm, is inclined downward, and is positioned horizontally, which contributes to optimal growth and harvest. The hybrid is resistant to downy mildew, false powdery mildew, and exhibits high tolerance to Phomopsis, significantly reducing the risk of yield loss. The optimal sowing period is from late April to mid-May, with plant density at harvest potentially reaching 55 thousand per hectare.
Sunflower OLEY is intended for cultivation using classical technology and is suitable for intensive farming. Thanks to its characteristics, such as high oil content, disease resistance, and adaptability to various soil-climatic conditions, this hybrid is a reliable choice for farmers aiming to obtain a stable and high-quality sunflower crop.
