Sunflower SX 5326

SX 5326 — this is a high-yielding mid-early sunflower hybrid intended for cultivation using the Express technology. It is characterized by stable oil content and high tolerance to major diseases such as Phomopsis, Phomosis, and root sclerotinia. The hybrid exhibits resistance to ragweed biotypes A-G, ensuring reliable protection of crops from parasitic plants. The average plant height reaches 162 cm, the head diameter is approximately 15.8 cm, and the thousand-seed weight is 75 g, indicating good seed size and quality. SX 5326 exhibits high plasticity and drought tolerance, enabling successful cultivation under various climatic conditions, including steppe, forest-steppe, and meadow zones. The recommended sowing rate varies depending on soil moisture: 45-50 thousand seeds per hectare under insufficient moisture, and up to 55 thousand seeds per hectare under adequate moisture. Thanks to these characteristics, the hybrid demonstrates stable yields that may exceed 40 centners per hectare, even under drought and pest stress conditions. A distinctive feature of SX 5326 is its high oil content, reaching 50-53%, making it attractive for oil producers. The hybrid belongs to the linoleic type and exhibits rapid growth during early development stages, which contributes to early yield formation. The maturation period is approximately 90-95 days, allowing effective planning of agronomic operations and timely harvest. All these qualities make SX 5326 a reliable choice for farmers aiming to obtain high-quality and stable sunflower yields.
