Sunflower SOLF 0618 JA is an original hybrid developed using the parental component EC Starbella. This hybrid is characterized by high plant height at maturity, absence of branching, and green to dark green leaf coloration with very weak pubescence. Flowering occurs at medium maturity, and ray flowers are yellow. Seeds are distinguished by the absence or very weak expression of marginal stripes, which is one of the features of this variety.
Hybrid SOLF 0618 JA has high drought and disease resistance, allowing yields of up to 5.5 tons per hectare even under adverse weather conditions. High oil content in seeds, reaching 50%, makes this sunflower attractive for cultivation in various regions, including forest-steppe and steppe zones. Medium-early maturity (109-113 days) facilitates timely harvest and optimal use of agronomic practices.
The seeds of this hybrid are suitable for cultivation under diverse climatic conditions and demonstrate tolerance to herbicides in the triazine group, which simplifies weed control and enhances agronomic efficiency. Due to these characteristics, SOLF 0618 JA is a reliable choice for farmers seeking high yields and product quality with minimal risks associated with weather and phytosanitary factors.
