VD 62 Sunflower is a mid-late maturity hybrid with a vegetation period of about 115 days, ensuring stable ripening under various climatic conditions. Plants reach a height of 170-185 cm, featuring a flat light-yellow head with a diameter of 21-23 cm and a slight downward tilt. Seeds are large and full-bodied, with a 1000-seed mass ranging from 60 to 65 g depending on the fraction, indicating high-quality planting material. The hybrid exhibits high germination energy and resistance to 6 races of sunflower wilt, significantly enhancing its adaptability and yield.
VD 62 is distinguished by high yield and stability of indicators. The yield potential reaches 45 cts/ha, while in steppe zones the maximum yield is about 28 cts/ha. The oil content of seeds ranges from 48-52%, with the oil content in seeds reaching 49-50%, making this hybrid profitable for oil production. Seeds are treated with a three-component fungicide, providing protection against a wide range of diseases, including phomosis, phomopsis, rust, and powdery mildew.
The VD 62 hybrid is resistant to drought, lodging, and shattering, which enhances yield reliability. The root system is strong and branched, promoting better nutrition and stress resistance. Treatment with the herbicide "Eurolight" ensures 100% protection from the most problematic weeds, such as ambrosia, knapweed, and cyclohen, as well as effective control of grasses and other weeds. This technology allows for maximum preservation and increase of yield, ensuring high profitability of cultivation.
