Sunflower VN 1959 B is a medium-early hybrid with a maturity period of about 102-107 days, allowing its effective use in various climatic conditions, including southern and eastern regions, as well as the forest-steppe and steppe zones. Plants reach a height of 160 to 175 cm, have a thin, convex head with a diameter of 18-22 cm, facilitating harvesting and seed quality. Recommended seeding density varies by region and ranges from 50 to 65 thousand plants per hectare, ensuring optimal land use and maximum yield.
The hybrid exhibits high resistance to stress factors, including drought and lodging, as well as significant resistance to diseases such as gray and white mold, confirmed by high resistance ratings. An important feature is resistance to herbicides containing tribenuron-methyl, allowing the application of SUMO technology at a rate of 50 grams per hectare, providing effective weed control without harming the crop.
The hybrid’s yield potential reaches 4.7-5.3 tons per hectare, with oil content in seeds ranging from 48 to 52%, and protein content between 16-18%. These characteristics make VN 1959 B an attractive choice for producers seeking high-quality raw material with high oil yield. The hybrid is suitable for intensive cultivation technologies, ensuring stable and high yields even under adverse weather conditions.
