Subaro is characterized by high yield and oil content stability, with oil content in seeds reaching up to 48-50%. The hybrid's yield potential reaches 9 points on the evaluation scale, and its yield stability and drought resistance indicators are also high (8-9 points). Recommended planting density varies depending on moisture conditions: in dry conditions — 40-45 thousand plants per hectare, in moderate moisture — 45-55 thousand, and in sufficient moisture — 55-60 thousand plants per hectare.
