VL A 8 SU

VL A 8 SU — a medium-maturing sunflower hybrid intended for cultivation using sulfur technology. It is characterized by high yield and high oil content in seeds, reaching 51-55%. The hybrid is adapted for cultivation under semi-intensive and extensive farming conditions, particularly in the Steppe and Southern Forest-Steppe regions, where drought periods are common. The recommended sowing rate varies depending on soil moisture: 45-50 thousand seeds per hectare under insufficient moisture, and 55-60 thousand seeds per hectare under adequate moisture. The potential yield is approximately 50 centners per hectare.

The hybrid exhibits high resistance to a range of diseases, including various races of downy mildew (A-F), phomopsis, phomopsis disease, gray and white rot, and false powdery mildew. Thanks to these qualities, VL A 8 SU demonstrates stable yield performance even under stressful conditions such as drought and disease. This makes it a reliable choice for farmers aiming to obtain a high-quality, oil-rich harvest.

In addition, the hybrid is well-adapted to various cultivation technologies, including extensive methods. It performs well even when sown in cold soil and after minimal soil preparation, expanding its applicability across different agroclimatic zones. High oil content and disease resistance make VL A 8 SU an efficient and economically viable solution for sunflower production.
