Sunflower SX 1008 A

SX 1008 A sunflower is a mid-early hybrid with a vegetation period of about 108 days, intended for cultivation using the Granstar technology. This hybrid is distinguished by its high oil content in seeds — from 49 to 51%, making it attractive for oilseed production. Seeds have a mass of 1000 pieces within 65-70 grams, and plants reach a height of 170-180 cm with a large convex disk measuring 23-25 cm in diameter. The yield potential is up to 5.5 tons per hectare, ensuring stable and high output with proper agronomic approach.

The SX 1008 A hybrid is characterized by high resistance to drought, lodging, and shattering, which allows for successful cultivation in various climatic conditions, including Forest-Steppe and Steppe. It possesses reliable protection against major sunflower diseases such as phoma, phomosis, alternaria, and rust, as well as demonstrates resistance to sunflower borer. Moreover, the hybrid is resistant to all known races of sunflower rust (A-G), which significantly reduces the risk of crop losses due to parasitic weeds.

SX 1008 A is suitable for intensive and high-intensive cultivation technologies, providing high profitability and crop stability. Its plasticity to growing conditions and ability to effectively combat broadleaf weeds make this hybrid a popular choice among farmers seeking to obtain high-quality and high-yield sunflower with high oil content.
