Josefina sunflower is a high-yielding hybrid adapted for cultivation in various climatic conditions. It features high resistance to drought, cold, and major diseases, ensuring stable yields even under adverse weather conditions. The seeds have a high oil content, making this sunflower particularly valuable for the oil industry. Recommended planting rates vary depending on soil moisture levels, allowing for optimized seeding according to regional conditions.
The Josefina hybrid is characterized by uniform flowering and maturation, which promotes good seed set and high yield. Plant height reaches 160-170 cm, and the flower head diameter is 19-24 cm, facilitating harvest. The 1000-seed mass is about 65 g, indicating seed size and quality. The potential yield reaches 4.8 t/ha, and the oil content in seeds is approximately 51%, meeting high oil standards.
Special attention has been paid to the hybrid's resistance to diseases, including false powdery mildew, fusarium, fusarium, and dry rot, as well as to various races of pathogens. This significantly reduces the risk of yield loss and decreases the need for intensive chemical protection. The Josefina sunflower is suitable for cultivation using modern technologies, including herbicides, and is recommended for all regions with different climatic conditions, making it a versatile and reliable choice for farmers.
