Sunflower P 64 HE 144 is a mid-season hybrid with a vegetative period of 118 days, developed for intensive cultivation technologies and oriented towards achieving high yields of high-oleic oil. The plant is tall, non-branching, with green leaves and yellow disc-shaped flowers. The 1000-seed mass is 60.4 grams, and oil content varies from 48 to 51%, with oleic acid content in the oil reaching 86-90%, making this hybrid especially valuable for producing high-quality oil. The recommended seed stand density is 50-55 thousand per hectare in dry conditions and 60-65 thousand under moderate moisture.
The hybrid exhibits high resistance to downy mildew (resistance group 6, score 1), as well as tolerance to diseases such as fomopsis, verticillium wilt, and powdery mildew. It is moderately resistant to white mold and moderately susceptible to rust. Additionally, P 64 HE 144 is resistant to the herbicide Express, allowing effective weed control during cultivation. It is recommended to avoid planting on fields with aggressive volunteer chicory races, as the hybrid’s resistance is limited to 5 races.
Hybrid P 64 HE 144 is recommended for cultivation in various climatic zones, including the Lower Volga region, Volgograd and Saratov regions, as well as several Ukrainian regions such as Dnepropetrovsk, Donetsk, Zaporozhye, Kirovohrad, Luhansk, Mykolaiv, Odesa, Poltava, Kharkiv, and Kherson. Its high drought resistance (9-10 points) and adaptability to various soil conditions make this sunflower a profitable choice for farmers seeking stable and high yields.
