Sofiasol

Sofiasol sunflower is a high-yielding hybrid with high resistance to various stress factors and diseases. Plants are characterized by high height and good resistance to lodging, ensuring stable yields. The sunflower head has a semi-convex shape, promoting even seed distribution and improved maturation. The hybrid exhibits high tolerance to Phomopsis and sclerotinia, and also contains the Plasmopara PL6 resistance gene, significantly enhancing its disease protection.

Sofiasol is distinguished by high yield and high oil content in seeds, reaching 48-51%. This makes it especially valuable for producing high-quality oil. The hybrid is suitable for cultivation in various climatic zones, including the Forest Steppe and Steppe of Ukraine, and demonstrates high resistance to drought, cold, and race A-G of downy mildew. It is also flexible regarding sowing timing and adapts well to different moisture conditions and mineral nutrition levels.

Recommended sowing rates vary depending on growing conditions: optimal — 55-60 thousand plants per hectare, under challenging conditions — 40-45 thousand. This approach allows maximum utilization of the hybrid’s potential and ensures stable high yields. Sofiasol is a versatile and reliable choice for farmers seeking high productivity and product quality.
