Sunflower Sarelia is a medium-early linoleic hybrid developed by Syngenta and optimized for cultivation in steppe and forest-steppe zones. This hybrid is characterized by high drought and heat tolerance, ensuring stable yields even under water deficit. Sarelia is suitable for moderately intensive cultivation technologies and is recommended for fields with medium to high agrofond. The sowing rate of the hybrid varies depending on soil moisture levels.
The hybrid exhibits high resistance to major sunflower diseases, including false powdery mildew, Phomopsis, Phomosis, white mold, and basket sclerotinia. Additionally, Sarelia is resistant to a broad spectrum of flea beetle species (volck) from A to G, significantly reducing the risk of yield loss. Thanks to these characteristics, the hybrid provides reliable protection and stability under various agroclimatic conditions.
The oil content in Sarelia sunflower seeds ranges from 50 to 54%, making it attractive for the oil industry. The hybrid is developed for HTS (Express) technology, optimized for use of the Express herbicide by FMC, simplifying crop maintenance and enhancing weed control efficiency. The medium-maturing type of the hybrid allows flexible planning of sowing and harvest dates.
