Sunflower SY SANTOS is an early-maturing oilseed hybrid developed by Syngenta. It features a vegetation period ranging from 76 to 100 days, enabling harvest within a short timeframe. Seeds are black in color, packed at 150,000 per unit, which is convenient for sowing and planning sowing areas.
The hybrid exhibits high resistance to drought and downy mildew, including resistance to six races of the downy mildew pathogen (A-F), ensuring reliable plant protection and stable yields under adverse climatic conditions. Thanks to these traits, SY SANTOS is suitable for cultivation in steppe and forest-steppe zones, where unfavorable weather conditions are common.
SY SANTOS demonstrates high yield potential, reaching up to 5 tons per hectare with conventional cultivation techniques. The plants exhibit good drought tolerance, facilitating harvest and reducing yield losses. This hybrid is recommended for oilseed production, providing high-quality raw material for sunflower oil manufacturing.
