Sunflower Venus

Stable Yields with «Clean Field» Technology

The «Venus» sunflower hybrid from NVP Agro-Rytm is designed for farms operating in regions with high infection pressure that prioritize predictable profitability. This simple hybrid is optimized for the «Euro-Lightning» herbicide system, allowing farmers to effectively control weeds even under challenging agricultural conditions.

Agronomic Advantages

In the field, «Venus» exhibits excellent crop uniformity, which is critical for high-quality harvesting. With a plant height of 170–180 cm, the hybrid is resistant to lodging, significantly reducing harvest losses. Its vegetation period of 100–110 days classifies it as a mid-early hybrid, providing farmers with the flexibility to clear fields on time for winter crop sowing.

Protection and Productivity

The key feature of «Venus» is its comprehensive genetic resistance. Integrating this hybrid into crop rotation addresses the challenges of managing:

• Downy mildew (Peronospora);
• Phomopsis and Phoma;
• Rust;
• Powdery mildew.

A high oil content (50–55%) makes this crop highly desirable for processing facilities, ensuring strong market liquidity. Cultivating «Venus» is ideal for operations looking to reduce herbicide stress on sunflower fields while achieving high seed oil concentrations.
