Sunflower SY Diamantis

SY Diamantis is a medium-early, intensive linoleic hybrid sunflower developed by Syngenta and adapted for Clearfield technology. The maturity period ranges from 106 to 115 days, allowing for a stable yield across various regions, excluding excessively arid zones. Plants reach a height of 150–170 cm, promoting good development and high productivity.

SY Diamantis exhibits high drought resistance and broad-spectrum disease resistance, including fusarium, sclerotinia, downy mildew, white mold, and rust, as well as resistance to races of downy mildew A–E. Seeds are treated with the fungicide and insecticide Cruiser (thiamethoxam 350 g/l), providing additional protection against pests and diseases during early growth stages. Recommended planting density varies depending on moisture conditions: 40 to 60 thousand plants per hectare.

The hybrid demonstrates high yield potential — up to 5 tons per hectare under optimal agronomic practices and on fertile soils. Oil content in seeds ranges from 46–49%, making SY Diamantis attractive for producing high-quality vegetable oil. Seeds are supplied in bags of 150,000 units, convenient for large-scale agricultural production.
