VULCAN EX is a medium-early hybrid sunflower of extensive type, possessing high productivity potential and high oil content in seeds, reaching 48-50%. The plant is characterized by medium height (160-180 cm) and medium-sized heads, ensuring ease in agronomic care and harvest. The vegetation period is approximately 123-129 days depending on the growing region, allowing the hybrid to successfully adapt to various climatic conditions.
The hybrid is resistant to major sunflower diseases such as downy mildew, rust, and verticillium, significantly reducing the risk of yield losses and enhancing production stability. VULCAN EX also demonstrates drought tolerance at standard level, making it suitable for cultivation under stress conditions. High oil content and high-oleic seed profile make this hybrid attractive for producing high-quality sunflower oil.
Recommended growing regions include the North Caucasus, Central Chernozem, Lower Volga, Middle Volga, and Ural regions. In these zones, the hybrid shows stable yields averaging over 50 centners per hectare, with record yields up to 37.8 centners per hectare. VULCAN EX is suitable for modern cultivation technologies, including Express® technology, which allows optimizing agronomic processes and increasing production efficiency.
