Shantaram sunflower hybrid seed is designed for cultivation using the Granstar technology, which ensures high efficiency in controlling broadleaf weeds due to resistance to corresponding herbicides. This variety is distinguished by its high oil content in seeds, reaching 49-50%, making it attractive for oil production. The vegetation period is approximately 108 days, classifying it as a medium-early variety, and its potential yield reaches 55 centners per hectare, indicating high crop productivity.
Shantaram sunflower plants exhibit good adaptability to various climatic conditions, enabling successful cultivation in different regions. High resistance to Granstar herbicides contributes to effective weed control, improving both the quality and quantity of the harvest. The seeds have been treated with a fungicide and enriched with microfertilizers, promoting healthy plant growth and enhancing their resilience to adverse factors.
Cultivation of Shantaram sunflower is recommended in agronomic practices where weed control and high oil yield are essential. Due to its characteristics—high oil content, herbicide resistance, and good yield—this variety is an optimal choice for modern agricultural systems focused on efficient and environmentally friendly oil crop production.
