Common sunflower Rimisol

Serbian breeding for clear fields: Why choose Rimisol

The Rimisol hybrid from the renowned IFVCNS (Novi Sad) institute is a classic of Serbian breeding, remaining a standard for farms utilizing the Clearfield production system for decades. Developed for regions with temperate and hot climates, this simple sunflower hybrid has proven its effectiveness in maintaining weed-free crops.

Agronomic potential and protection

The key feature of Rimisol is its resistance to the imidazolinone herbicide group, specifically 'Euro-Lightning'. This allows growers to control a wide range of weeds, including broomrape, directly during the vegetation period. Beyond chemical tolerance, the hybrid possesses high genetic resistance to phomopsis and rust, which is critical for preventing yield losses in years with high disease pressure.

Characteristics and physiology

• Vegetation period: 100–110 days, classifying this hybrid in the medium-early group. This makes it convenient for crop rotation planning and timely harvesting.
• Morphology: The plant reaches a height of 150–160 cm. The convex shape of the head promotes better ventilation and prevents moisture accumulation, reducing the risk of rot.
• Oil content: The oil yield is 45–50%, which is an excellent result for intensive cultivation technologies.

Rimisol is a proven solution for farmers seeking a balance between predictable yields and production efficiency. Due to its hardiness and adaptability to Serbian climatic conditions—similar to many other agricultural regions—this IFVCNS hybrid consistently holds its position in the medium-early sunflower segment.
