Ravenes

The Ravenes sunflower hybrid, developed by the Institute of Plant Growing named after V. Ya. Yuryev of NAAN Ukraine, is a mid-early variety with a vegetation period of 108-112 days. It is characterized by high yield, reaching up to 4.8 tons per hectare, and high oil content in seeds — 48-49%. This hybrid is intended for cultivation in steppe and forest-steppe zones, where it demonstrates excellent adaptation to climatic conditions and resistance to various diseases.

One of the key features of Ravenes is its genetic resistance to rust and other diseases, as well as high drought tolerance, ensuring stable yields even under adverse weather conditions. Plants reach a height of up to 210 cm, which contributes to good growth and seed formation. The hybrid also exhibits resistance to the herbicide Granstar (up to 50 grams), enabling effective control of ragweed and foxtail, improving seed quality.

The cultivation technology for this hybrid includes the use of express methods under Granstar, simplifying agronomic practices and enhancing production efficiency. Seeds are supplied in bags of 150,000 units, available in standard and extra fractions. Ravenes shows high resistance to downy mildew (groups A-E) and lodging, further increasing the quality and quantity of the harvest. This hybrid is a reliable choice for oilseed production, available for payment on delivery or by bank transfer with VAT.
