Sunflower Hybrid 101 A

Field Performance: GSM 101 A Hybrid

When working with the GSM 101 A sunflower hybrid by Ooo Galaktika, the first thing you notice is the uniformity of the stand. With a vegetation period of 110-120 days, it is predictable and easy to manage, which is essential for logistical planning. The plant height of 170-190 cm is perfect for modern harvesting equipment; it feeds into the header smoothly with minimal grain loss, even under varying moisture conditions.

Agronomic Resilience

The standout feature of this hybrid is its compatibility with the Clearfield (Euro-Lightning) production system. Being able to use a broad-spectrum herbicide makes weed management significantly easier and more cost-effective. We have also observed excellent resistance to white rot and grey rot, which are often the primary culprits for yield reduction in the head. Resistance to phomopsis and downy mildew allows for a reduction in fungicide applications, lowering the overall cost of production per hectare.

Yield and Oil Quality

The oil content consistently hits the 50-55% range, which ensures a premium at the crushing plant. The large, well-filled heads hold the seeds tightly, preventing pre-harvest shattering even if the crop is left standing a bit longer than planned. For a farmer, this flexibility is a huge advantage during a busy harvest season.

• Vegetation period: 110-120 days for reliable maturation.
• Production System: Optimized for Euro-Lightning technology.
• Key benefits: High disease resistance, 50-55% oil content, and excellent harvestability.
