HA 1200 K

Reliable Serbian genetics for consistent yields

Serbian breeding expertise from the Institut Za Ratarstvo I Povrtarstvo is globally recognized for its resilience and adaptability. The sunflower hybrid "HA 1200 K" is a prime example, tailored for farmers who prioritize phytosanitary security and consistent oil quality. With a vegetation period of 110–120 days, it fits perfectly into medium-term crop rotation plans.

A robust defense against pathogens

The standout feature of "HA 1200 K" is its comprehensive genetic resistance. Unlike hybrids that demand heavy fungicide programs, this variety maintains its health through inherent biological strength, showing excellent resistance to:

• Downy mildew (including races affecting corn and sorghum);
• Rust;
• Powdery mildew.

This resilience makes it an optimal choice for farms managing high pathogen pressure or intensive crop rotations, where traditional hybrids might struggle to maintain plant health throughout the season.

Agronomic performance

The plant reaches a compact height of 140–150 cm, a structural advantage that reduces lodging risks and simplifies harvesting operations. The convex, medium-sized head is filled with small, black seeds. Despite the small seed size, the hybrid is highly efficient at accumulating oil, consistently delivering an oil content of 45–50%, making it a highly marketable commodity.

Why choose HA 1200 K?

This hybrid is built for farmers who need predictability. It minimizes the risk of losses due to fungal outbreaks, effectively reducing the need for emergency chemical interventions. Its combination of compact plant stature, reliable oil yields, and superior disease tolerance makes it a smart investment for those looking to balance efficiency with quality production.
