Optisol

Optisol hybrid sunflower is a high-yielding crop adapted for modern cultivation technologies. It features high drought tolerance and resistance to various diseases, including all races of false powdery mildew, and also exhibits tolerance to five races of parasitic plant — dodder. The vegetation period of the hybrid is 110-115 days, enabling it to thrive in diverse climatic conditions, including areas with insufficient moisture. Plant height reaches 160-180 cm, and the recommended seeding density varies depending on soil moisture level, ensuring optimal resource utilization and maximum yield.

The yield potential of the Optisol hybrid reaches 57 centners per hectare, with oil content in seeds ranging from 49-51%. Seeds exhibit high thousand-grain weight — from 50 to 58 grams — indicating good quality and seed material density. To enhance seeding efficiency and disease resistance, seeds undergo technological pre-sowing treatment, including fungicide seed treatments and growth stimulators based on phytohormones, which improve germination and plant resilience.

The Optisol hybrid is suitable for cultivation using Clearfield technology, enabling effective weed control and increased yield. It is recommended for cultivation in various regions, including southern and southeastern areas with insufficient moisture, due to its drought tolerance and high temperatures during flowering. Use of this hybrid ensures stable and high oilseed yield, making it an advantageous choice for agricultural producers seeking optimal balance of quality and productivity.
