Sunflower SOLF 0078 A

SOLF 0078 A is a mid-early simple sunflower hybrid intended for oilseed production. It is characterized by a growing period of 105-109 days and a plant height of 170-180 cm. It has a powerful root system, a medium-thickness stem, and a thin, convex head, semi-inverted downwards with a diameter of 19-22 cm. The seeds are black in color, elongated, with a mass of up to 75 g for 1000 seeds and an oil content of 46-48%, which ensures high oil content of the hybrid. The hulling ability of the seeds is 23-25%. The hybrid is distinguished by good adaptation to various soil and climatic conditions, especially in steppe and forest-steppe zones. The recommended sowing density is 50-55 thousand plants per hectare in the steppe and 55-60 thousand in the forest-steppe. SOLF 0078 A possesses resistance to major sunflower diseases such as downy mildew, rust, phoma, septoria, and sunflower moth, which contributes to stable and high yields. One of the key advantages of this hybrid is its compatibility with CLEARFIELD® technology, which allows for effective control of all races of *Striga*, which significantly facilitates agronomic care and increases productivity. The hybrid yield reaches 40-55 c/ha, and under optimal conditions can exceed 55 c/ha. Due to the combination of high oil content, disease resistance, and adaptability, SOLF 0078 A is a reliable choice for sunflower producers in regions with various climatic conditions.
