Toros sunflower hybrid is a medium-early olein variety with a vegetation period of about 105-112 days. Plants reach a height of 160-175 cm, and the 1000-seed mass is 60-65 g. This hybrid is characterized by high adaptability to various soil types and climatic conditions, allowing successful cultivation in different regions. The recommended planting density is 55-60 thousand plants per hectare, which contributes to achieving optimal yield.
Toros has high oil content in the seeds — about 50-51% — with a high level of oleic acid, making it particularly valuable for producing high-quality sunflower oil. The hybrid is resistant to major sunflower diseases, such as fusarium, phomopsis, white and gray rot, as well as lodging and drought. These properties ensure stable yield and reduce the risk of losses under adverse weather conditions.
The potential yield of the Toros hybrid reaches 45-50 centners per hectare, making it attractive for commercial cultivation. High herbicide resistance allows effective weed control without damage to the crop. Thanks to its agronomic characteristics and quality indicators, the Toros hybrid is a reliable choice for farmers aiming to achieve high and stable sunflower yields with high oil content.
