Sunflower cultivation requires a combination of high-quality seeds, proper agricultural technology, and modern fertilisers. One of the striking examples of successful sowing was demonstrated by a farmer in the Voronovytskyi district of the Vinnytsia region, who chose the Pegasus sunflower hybrid (NS 6341) from Eurosem and applied the Euro-Lightning technology.
The Pegas hybrid was sown on 16 May and harvested on 25 October, yielding 43 cwt/ha of sunflowers. This is one of the highest results in the region for hybrids of this class, confirming the stability and potential of the Pegas hybrid in various growing conditions.
Features of the Pegasus hybrid
The Pegasus hybrid from Eurosem has a number of important characteristics that make it attractive to farmers:
- high productivity,
- resistance to imidazoline-based weed herbicides,
- tolerance to typical crop diseases: phomosis, phomopsis, rot, peronosporosis, alternariosis, rust.
The use of Eurolighting technology ensures optimal weed control and reduces competition between crops and harmful weeds. Proper root system formation and development in the early stages of growth, thanks to the strong genetics of the hybrid, also had an impact on the final high yield. The combination of high-quality sunflower seeds with modern agricultural technology guarantees stable results even in difficult weather conditions.
Cultivation and care technology
All recommendations regarding sowing density, microfertiliser application and pest control were followed in the field. As a result, the sunflower heads formed evenly, and the seeds were of high weight and quality, which is an important indicator for further sale and processing.
Yield results
The sunflower yield on the farmer’s field was 43 cwt/ha, and the quality of the seeds allowed the full potential of the Pegas hybrid to be realised. This case confirms that the right choice of hybrid and cultivation technology is a key factor in success for farmers.
The Pegasus hybrid from Eurosem is a reliable solution for Ukrainian farmers who want to combine stable sunflower yields, stress resistance and high seed quality. The use of modern Eurolighting technology together with proven sunflower seeds allows for maximum efficiency and profitability of cultivation.
If you are planning to sow sunflowers next season, Pegasus is a proven choice for a high and stable yield.
