Sunflower PRO229

The PRO229SU hybrid sunflower, developed by STRUBE GMBH & CO. KG, is a medium-early variety with a vegetation period of about 120 days. It is characterized by high drought tolerance and adaptability to various soil-climatic conditions, allowing successful cultivation in areas with different levels of moisture. Plant height reaches approximately 155 cm, and the 1000-seed mass is about 68 grams. This hybrid has a high oil content in seeds — around 50% — making it attractive for oil production.

PRO229SU demonstrates resistance to several diseases, including white mold, fusarium, phomopsis, gray mold, and downy mildew, significantly reducing the risk of crop losses. Resistance to herbicides, particularly granstar, allows effective weed control without harming the crop. The recommended planting density varies depending on growing conditions: 60,000 plants per hectare in well-watered zones and 50,000 plants per hectare in arid regions.

The potential yield of this hybrid is about 4.2 tons per hectare, confirming its high productivity. Due to its combination of high yield, resistance to stress factors and diseases, and high oil content, PRO229SU is a reliable choice for farmers aiming to achieve high-quality and stable sunflower yields.
