Sunflower X RF 4076

Sunflower X RF 4076 is a mid-early, simple interspecific hybrid with a vegetation period ranging from 108 to 115 days. The plants reach a height of about 180 cm, and the sunflower head diameter is approximately 23 cm with an inclination of about 45 degrees. The hybrid is characterized by a high oil content in seeds at 50-52%, ensuring significant oil yield during processing. The potential yield reaches 51 centners per hectare, making it attractive for cultivation in various agroclimatic conditions.

A feature of the X RF 4076 hybrid is its high resistance to adverse environmental factors and diseases. It exhibits heat resistance, is drought-tolerant, and capable of enduring extreme growing conditions. The hybrid is resistant to new races of the parasitic plant 'volchok' (up to 6 races), as well as possessing high resistance to crown gall. Moreover, it is tolerant to diseases such as Phoma and white mold, which significantly reduces the risk of crop losses.

To protect against dicot weeds, cultivation using the Granstar technology is recommended, which ensures effective application of herbicides containing tribenuron-methyl. The hybrid responds well to a high agro-background and mineral fertilizers, which contributes to increased yield. The recommended sowing density varies depending on the moisture zone: 50-55 thousand plants per hectare under insufficient moisture conditions and 55-60 thousand in areas with sufficient moisture. The optimal regions for cultivation are the steppe and forest-steppe.
