Sunflower RT 0657

RT 0657 is an early-maturing sunflower hybrid developed to ensure high yield and resistance under various climatic conditions. It is characterized by high adaptability and hardiness, allowing for successful cultivation in regions with insufficient or critical moisture, such as the Polesye, Forest-Steppe, and Steppe. The hybrid boasts a high oil content in its seeds, ranging from 51 to 54%, making it an attractive option for producing oilseed products.

One of the key features of RT 0657 is its resistance to a wide range of diseases, including phomopsis, phoma, rust, white rot, and peronosporosis. Additionally, the hybrid exhibits high drought tolerance and resistance to lodging, ensuring yield stability even under adverse weather conditions. The recommended sowing density varies depending on the level of moisture: from 40 to 50 thousand plants per hectare in arid zones, and from 50 to 60 thousand plants per hectare in areas with sufficient and average moisture.

RT 0657 is also tolerant to herbicides from the tribenuron-methyl group, which facilitates weed control in crops and enhances the effectiveness of agronomic practices. The high oleic acid content in the oil makes this hybrid particularly valuable for producing high-quality sunflower oil. Due to the combination of high yield, disease resistance, and adaptability to various growing zones, RT 0657 is a reliable choice for modern agricultural producers.
