It features high oleic acid content (86-90%), ensuring high oil quality and making it particularly valuable for producing high-oleic sunflower oil. Oil content in seeds ranges from 50-54%, indicating high yield potential. Plants have compact size and are below average height, which enhances resistance to lodging and simplifies harvest.

RT 9817 exhibits high resistance to downy mildew (groups A-E) and other diseases, increasing its reliability under various agroclimatic conditions. It is well-adapted to zones with adequate moisture and demonstrates vigorous growth, enabling efficient harvest planning and stable yields. Additionally, the hybrid shows high adaptability to herbicide protection using conventional systems, simplifying crop maintenance and reducing protection costs.

RT 9817 is recommended for cultivation in regions with favorable moisture conditions, where high oil content and oil quality are essential. Due to its combination of early maturity, high resistance to lodging and diseases, and high oleic acid content, this hybrid is an optimal choice for producers aiming to obtain high-quality, competitive sunflower oil on the market.
