Sunflower VB 354 V

VB 354 V — a mid-early simple sunflower hybrid developed to meet modern requirements for durability and yield. This hybrid is distinguished by a vegetative period of 110-113 days and plasticity for cultivation in various soil and climatic zones, making it a universal choice for different regions. Plants reach a height of 160-165 cm, have slightly convex head shape with a diameter of 20-22 cm in a semi-sloping position. The oil content in seeds is 48-50%, which ensures high oiliness and economic efficiency of cultivation.

One of the key features of VB 354 V is high tolerance to herbicides of the imidazolinone group (IMI), which allows effective weed control without harm to the crop. The hybrid also demonstrates high heat and drought tolerance, as well as excellent resistance to lodging and shattering. In terms of disease protection, VB 354 V has high tolerance to phoma, phomopsis, rust, downy mildew, gray and white molds, as well as resistance to sunflower moth and sunflower stem borer, which significantly reduces the risk of yield losses.

The recommended planting density for optimal yield is 55-60 thousand plants per hectare in the forest-steppe zone and 50-55 thousand in the steppe. The potential yield of the hybrid reaches 5.0 t/ha, while the average yield over the years of trials is 3.6 t/ha. Thanks to the combination of high productivity, stress and disease resistance, as well as adaptability to various growing conditions, VB 354 V is a reliable choice for farmers seeking a stable and high-quality sunflower yield.
