Sunflower VITA is a mid-season first-generation hybrid designed for cultivation in the Ural region, particularly in the Orenburg region. The vegetation period is 123 days, ensuring optimal maturity under these climatic conditions. Average yield in the region reaches 19 centners per hectare, with maximum yield up to 28.6 centners per hectare. The 1000-seed mass is 41 grams, and oil content in the seeds reaches 52.5%, enabling up to 9 centners of oil per hectare. Developed by LLC "GLOBAL SIDS" under the leadership of Mikhail Lvovich Grishin, the hybrid is characterized by high productivity and quality. A distinctive feature of sunflower VITA is its high resistance to several diseases, including Tomato yellow leaf curl virus (Tm), Verticillium dahliae and V. albo-atrum (V), Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici, races 0 and 1 (F2), Cladosporium fulvum, races 1-5 (C5), as well as complex species of Meloidogyne. This resistance significantly reduces the risk of yield losses and ensures production stability under adverse phytosanitary conditions. For processing and marking of sunflower VITA seeds, specialized ink for imprinting and marking is recommended, which has several advantages. The purple-colored ink with pearlescent finish easily dilutes in water, does not cause seed clumping, and does not adhere to equipment. It is environmentally friendly, contains no synthetic polymers or volatile solvents, which does not impede seed gas and moisture exchange. Additionally, the ink improves germination and plant development, and prevents dust formation in seed masses, facilitating storage and sowing.
