Сузука HTS

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

Suzuka is a simple late—ripening sunflower hybrid optimized for the use of the herbicide Express™ (tribenuron-methyl). It is highly resistant to drought, heat and new races of contagion.

The hybrid forms powerful plants with a well-made basket and a high oil content. Due to its rapid initial development and powerful root system, it effectively tolerates arid conditions and high temperatures. It is suitable for various tillage technologies, including classic, minimal and No-till.

It is included in the State Register for the Middle Volga region and recommended for cultivation in the Penza region.
