Sunflower SOLF 1566 MNA

SOLF 1566 MNA is a high-oleic sunflower hybrid with increased resistance to various diseases and adverse conditions. Plants reach a height of 155-165 cm, featuring a well-formed head with a diameter of 22-24 cm, slightly drooping downward. Due to its high leafiness and strong root system, the hybrid effectively retains moisture, which is especially important during prolonged droughts. The vegetative period ranges from 110 to 115 days, classifying it as mid-season.

The hybrid is characterized by high oil content — 49-50 %, with oleic acid levels around 89 %, making it particularly valuable for producing high-quality oil. SOLF 1566 MNA exhibits tolerance to the herbicide Euro-Lighting and herbicides in the tribenuron-methyl group, facilitating weed control. Additionally, it is resistant to diseases such as phomopsis, head and stem sclerotinia, verticillium wilt, rust, black mold, and false powdery mildew.

This hybrid is recommended for cultivation in the forest-steppe and northern steppe zones, where it demonstrates stable yields and high product quality. Medium-sized seeds with striped coloring are suitable for oil production and offer good potential for oil extraction. SOLF 1566 MNA is a reliable choice for farmers seeking high productivity and crop resilience.
