Sunflower RKRA 64 OR IMI

Sunflower RKRA 64 OR IMI is a medium-early hybrid with a vegetation period of about 106-119 days, allowing it to be successfully grown in various climatic conditions, especially in the Forest-Steppe and Steppe zones. The plants are characterized by high initial growth energy, which promotes uniform crop development and simultaneous flowering of all plants. High plant height, green leaf coloration, and absence of branching make this hybrid resistant to lodging and provide good plant structure at maturity. The 1000-seed mass is approximately 59.7 grams, indicating large seed size and high quality. One of the key features of RKRA 64 OR IMI is its high drought tolerance and ability to maintain active growth even under prolonged drought without stress conditions. The hybrid has excellent autofertility and high natural resistance to the parasitic weed burclover, enabling its cultivation on fields infested with this pest. Additionally, the plants demonstrate high resistance to common stem and head diseases, significantly reducing yield losses and enhancing production stability. The hybrid is distinguished by high oleic acid content in the seeds (about 92.1%), making it especially valuable for producing high-quality oil. The seeds have high oil content and strong retention in the head, preventing shattering at maturity and facilitating harvest. RKRA 64 OR IMI is recommended for cultivation in various regions, including the Central Black Earth region, where it achieves high yields up to 46.5 centners per hectare. Thanks to its unique characteristics and adaptability, this hybrid is an excellent choice for modern farmers aiming for high productivity and product quality.
