RSF 78 is a sunflower hybrid characterized by high resistance to herbicides of the tribenuron-methyl group, specifically to the product Granstar, which allows for effective weed control during cultivation. The hybrid withstands the application of herbicide at a dosage of up to 50 g/ha, ensuring reliable crop protection and contributing to a high yield. RSF 78 is tolerant to seven aggressive races of sunflower stem rust (A-G), which significantly reduces the risk of infection and increases yield stability.
The hybrid belongs to the medium-late maturity group and is recommended for cultivation in the Steppe and Forest-Steppe zones, confirming its adaptability to various climatic conditions. RSF 78 seeds are characterized by high germination energy (96%) and germination rate (97%), as well as low moisture content (around 7.9%), which ensures good germination and optimal conditions for plant development. High seed quality contributes to a yield with indicators up to 50-60 c/ha, making this hybrid attractive to agricultural producers.
RSF 78 is intended for the production of oilseed products, which underscores its economic significance. Thanks to the combination of resistance to herbicides and sunflower stem rust, as well as high agronomic characteristics, this hybrid ensures efficient and stable sunflower production with high seed quality and oil content.
