Sunflower PH 1015 B is a mid-early hybrid with a vegetation period of approximately 112-115 days, ensuring timely maturity and high productivity. Plants reach a height of 160-190 cm, and the flower head diameter is 20-23 cm, promoting effective yield formation. Seed oil content varies between 47-54%, ensuring high oil yield, while the potential yield reaches 50-60 c/ha, making this hybrid attractive for cultivation under various climatic conditions.
The hybrid exhibits high resistance to diseases and stress factors. It possesses tolerance to major sunflower diseases, such as phomopsis, phomosis, white and gray mold, powdery mildew, as well as rust and septoria. Resistance to herbicide-resistant weeds covers a broad spectrum of strains, including A, B, C, D, E, F, G, and H, significantly reducing the risk of infection. Drought tolerance and initial growth energy are rated at a high level — 9 points, ensuring stable plant development even under water deficit.
The cultivation technology for this hybrid includes the use of modern weed control methods, such as Clearfield and Evrolighting, which effectively manage weeds and new herbicide-resistant weed strains. The recommended plant population ranges from 45,000 to 63,000 plants per hectare, depending on the cultivation region. The high oleic acid content (up to 92%) in Sunflower PH 1015 B seeds makes it especially valuable for producing high-quality oil with improved consumer properties. All these characteristics make this hybrid an optimal choice for farmers seeking a high and stable sunflower yield.
