Sunflower VOLGA 60

VOLGA 60 is a mid-early sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) variety intended for cultivation in the Central Black Earth and Middle Volga regions, specifically in the Tambov and Penza oblasts. This variety is distinguished by stable medium yields, reaching 26.1 centners per hectare in the Central Black Earth region. The oil content of the seeds is approximately 49.9%, making it attractive for oil production.

The variety exhibits resistance to downy mildew, which ensures protection from this disease and contributes to yield preservation. However, VOLGA 60 is susceptible to white rot, which requires careful monitoring and the application of appropriate agronomic measures. Under field conditions, the sunflower variety is prone to strong infection by sunflower rust, which should be taken into account when planning sowings and choosing protection methods.

VOLGA 60 is suitable for cultivation in the central region of Russia, where it demonstrates good yield and seed quality indicators. It is recommended for farmers and agrarians interested in obtaining high-quality oilseed raw materials, taking into account regional features and potential risks associated with diseases.
