Advantages of Kronos Sumo sunflower hybrid (NS 6054):
- universal hybrid
- resistant to 6 races of sunflower broomrape
- Sumo cultivation technology
- high potential yield
- tolerance to diseases.
Kronos Sumo hybrid seeds are issued in two technological solutions, these are Optimum and Premium. Premium technological solution is a high-quality sowing material that includes treatment against diseases with three fungicides (fludioxonil, metalaxyl-M, thiram), Evrostim Premium microfertilizer, growth stimulator based on phytohormones. Seeds in Optimum technological solution are treated with two fungicides: fludioxonil, metalaxyl-M and Evrostim Premium complex microfertilizer.
