Sunflower P 64 LE 25 is a mid-early hybrid of the linoleic type, intended for cultivation using the ExpressSun® (Gramstar) herbicide technology. It features high yield potential reaching 47 centners per hectare and high oil content in seeds - about 50%. The vegetative period is 111-115 days, and plant height reaches 180 cm. The mass of 1000 seeds is 65 grams, indicating the hybrid's large seed size.
The hybrid has a powerful root system providing resistance to lodging, as well as high drought tolerance, making it a reliable choice for cultivation in the Steppe and Forest-Steppe zones. It is characterized by a high degree of self-pollination and resistance to various diseases, including rust, leaf and head diseases, phoma, phomopsis, and white mold. The level of resistance to these diseases is evaluated as high, contributing to yield stability.
Special attention is paid to the hybrid's resistance to sunflower dodder, including five races (A-E) and the System II, which provides protection from this pest. The hybrid also possesses genetic tolerance to herbicides based on Express or their analogues, allowing effective control of broadleaf weeds, especially in regions with high weed infestation. It is recommended to observe optimal seeding rates and herbicide treatment norms to achieve maximum productivity and plant health.
