In 2025, one of our customers in the Dnipropetrovsk region grew the Gryphon hybrid sunflower. The aim was to assess its productivity under the growing conditions in the region.
Sowing and nutrition system
The Gryphon hybrid was sown on 25 April 2025 using classic soil cultivation technology. The main nutrition was provided by 200 kg/ha of sulphoamophos, which ensured sufficient levels of nitrogen, phosphorus and sulphur for intensive plant growth at all stages of development.
Disease resistance
The Gryphon hybrid demonstrates the highest resistance to diseases, making it a reliable choice for farmers in regions at risk of phytosanitary problems. It shows high tolerance to:
- downy mildew;
- phomosis;
- peronosporosis;
- rust;
- phomopsis.
This resistance reduces crop protection costs and guarantees a stable yield even under unfavourable weather conditions.
Vegetation and harvesting
Throughout the season, agronomists monitored the condition of the crops, applied fertilisers and carried out maintenance measures, which contributed to active growth and the formation of healthy seed material.
The harvest took place on 17 September 2025.
Results
At the end of the season, the yield was 3.34 t/ha, confirming the effectiveness of the Gryphon hybrid in Euro-Lightning cultivation technology and its ability to produce consistently high results on different soil types.
Practical benefits for farmers
The use of the Gryphon hybrid allows agricultural producers to obtain:
- a stable harvest even in fields with a risk of disease and weed spread;
- reduced fungicide costs;
- reliability in dry and rainy seasons;
- maximum return on invested resources.
This case study demonstrates that the right choice of hybrid and optimal agricultural techniques ensure high efficiency in sunflower cultivation and guarantee reliable results for farmers.
