Sunflower hybrids

Sunflower breeding represents a significant priority for the Ukrainian Scientific Institute of Plant Breeding. We conduct thorough analyses of market needs and trends within the agricultural sector, implementing the most advanced innovations to promote successful cultivation practices in Ukrainian fields.

Sunflower breeding focuses on improving the following traits:

• crop resistance to herbicides
  
• tolerance to new races of broomrape
• adaptability of hybrids to different soil and climatic conditions
• stability and high yields

The VNIS sunflower hybrid portfolio includes the best hybrids for classical technology, sunflower hybrids resistant to herbicides based on tribenuron-methyl (SU) and imidazolinone (IMI), as well as the high-oleic sunflower hybrid Everest.
