PR64E83

The hybrid sunflower PR64E83, developed by Pioneer, is a high-yielding variety intended for sunflower oil production. This mid-early hybrid is characterized by high productivity and stable performance, making it a reliable choice for various climatic conditions, including forest-steppe and steppe regions. The seeds' high oil content, reaching 49.5%, ensures efficient production of high-quality oil.

PR64E83 exhibits high resistance to lodging and shattering, which helps preserve yield and facilitates harvesting. The hybrid demonstrates tolerance to several sunflower diseases, including Phomopsis, peronosporosis, and downy mildew (strains A-E), as well as resistance to the pest – the cutworm. These traits significantly reduce the risk of losses and enhance the reliability of crop cultivation.

Plants of this hybrid are characterized by high stature and good adaptation to DuPont ExpressSun technology, ensuring effective self-pollination and optimal development. The recommended planting density varies depending on soil moisture levels: 55,000 plants per hectare in well-watered zones and 50,000 in less watered zones. This approach allows for maximum utilization of the hybrid's potential and consistent yields under various conditions.
