Pactera, a hybrid sunflower developed by breeders of LLC "AF NPP AGROMIR" and included in the State Register of Varieties of Ukraine in 2022, represents a modern solution for farmers aiming for high yields and resilience to adverse conditions. This hybrid is resistant to lodging and herbicides containing tribenuron-methyl, implemented through the SUMO (Express) technology. Thanks to these properties, Pactera provides effective weed control and reduces chemical treatment costs.
The hybrid demonstrates high resistance to major stress factors and diseases. It exhibits very high resistance to lodging and drought, as well as high resistance to seed shattering. These qualities make Pactera a reliable choice for cultivation in various climatic conditions, especially in forest-steppe and steppe zones. The oil content of the seeds ranges from 52.0 to 53.1%, while the linolenic acid content is within 22-23%, indicating high-quality raw material for oil production.
The potential yield of the Pactera hybrid varies from 3.7 to 4.6 tons per hectare, allowing for a stable and high harvest. The recommended planting density at harvest time is 55-60 thousand plants per hectare in the forest-steppe zone and 50-55 thousand plants per hectare in the steppe zone. These parameters optimize land use and maximize the hybrid’s potential under various agroclimatic conditions.
