NA 117 A

A technological solution for complex fields

The «NA 117 A» hybrid by NPK Selektsiya is the result of targeted breeding aimed at meeting the needs of Ukrainian farmers working in fields with high weed pressure. As a simple hybrid, this sunflower demonstrates predictable genetic uniformity, which is critical for achieving even crop density and uniform maturation.

Adaptability to «Euro-Lightning»

The key feature of «NA 117 A» is its genetic resistance to imidazolinone herbicides (the «Euro-Lightning» system). This technology has become an industry standard for combating persistent weeds, including broomrape (Orobanche cumana), which is a major limiting factor for sunflower yields in the steppe and forest-steppe zones of Ukraine. Using this system allows farmers to control the field during the plant's active growth phase, minimizing competition for moisture and nutrients.

Market Positioning

NPK Selektsiya focuses on creating seed material adapted to the regional climatic realities. «NA 117 A» belongs to a generation of hybrids where high productivity is combined with technological flexibility. Farmers choose this product to ensure crop rotation stability, where it is important not only to achieve a high oil yield but also to guarantee the cleansing of the soil from problematic weeds within a single cycle.
