Spirou sunflower is an ultra-early hybrid characterized by high yield, reaching up to 50 centners per hectare. Plants grow to a height of 140-150 cm, ensuring good productivity and ease of harvest. Seeds have a high oil content — from 49 to 52% — making this hybrid attractive for oil production.
Spirou exhibits high resistance to a wide range of diseases, including downy mildew, anthracnose, white and gray rot, alternaria, rust, fomopsis, septoria, and fomosis. Additionally, the hybrid shows resistance to the pest 'wolf' (likely referring to 'wolf moth' or similar pest), significantly reducing the risk of crop loss. Thanks to these qualities, Spirou is suitable for cultivation in various climatic zones, such as the forest-steppe and steppe regions.
The Spirou hybrid demonstrates high adaptability to drought conditions, ensuring stable maturation and yield retention even under adverse weather conditions. The recommended planting density is 55,000–60,000 plants per hectare, which optimizes land use and promotes maximum yield from plantings. This sunflower is a reliable choice for farmers aiming to obtain a high-quality, stress-resistant crop.
