Sunflower is an important oilseed crop, widely cultivated in Ukraine due to its high adaptability to the local climate and resistance to various diseases. Modern sunflower hybrids offered by leading producers are distinguished by high-quality seed material, ensuring a high germination rate of seeds — from 96% to 98%. The vegetative period of such hybrids varies from 80 to 120 days, allowing for effective planning of agronomic activities and achieving stable yields.

Special attention is paid to hybrids with improved characteristics, such as the medium-early linoleic hybrid Surist, which is characterized by an intensive type of adaptability and high oil content — up to 55%. This hybrid possesses high initial growth energy and resistance to sunflower downy mildew A-G, as well as to major diseases including false powdery mildew, fusarium, fusariosis, and sclerotinia. Moreover, Surist is resistant to stem lodging and optimized for use with modern herbicides, making it a universal choice for various agroclimatic zones in Ukraine.

Sunflower seed producers actively implement innovative technologies and conduct scientific research aimed at increasing yield and product quality. The use of certified seed material with strong genetics and premium processing not only increases oil yield from harvested crops but also improves its quality. Thanks to this, farmers are able to grow sunflower with maximum efficiency, utilizing modern plant protection methods and optimal planting schemes depending on moisture conditions and growing region.
