The sunflower hybrid RV 66613 was developed jointly by the company Pidnyahivtsi Agroleader and a scientific institute from Novi Sad, Serbia. It is distinguished by high resistance to major diseases such as verticillium wilt, rust, sunflower moth, and phytophthora, ensuring reliable crop protection and stable yields. Additionally, the hybrid possesses high drought resistance and shatter resistance, making it particularly valuable for cultivation in various climatic conditions.
The potential yield of the hybrid reaches 4.40 tons per hectare at the recommended planting density of 50–55 thousand plants per hectare. An important characteristic is the high oil content in seeds, which varies from 49.0 to 51.0%, making this hybrid attractive for the production of high-quality oilseed products.
RV 66613 is also tolerant to herbicides of the tribenuron-methyl group, which facilitates weed control and increases the effectiveness of agrotechnical measures. Due to the combination of disease resistance, stress tolerance, and high oil content, this hybrid is an optimal choice for modern farmers seeking high and quality sunflower yields.
