NA Tesan

Stability and Protection: The Potential of the NA Tesan Hybrid

In the current agricultural landscape, selecting seed material requires a balance between yield and technological efficiency. The sunflower hybrid NA Tesan, developed by Nertus, is a solution tailored for farmers who prioritize predictability and resistance to major pathogens. This simple hybrid, created by domestic breeders including Mykola Viacheslavovych Mykhno, is engineered to adapt to the specific climatic conditions of the region.

Agronomic Profile

The growing season for this hybrid is 100–110 days, classifying it as a mid-early variety. Such precocity allows for effective planning of the harvest campaign and timely field clearance. The plant reaches a height of 160–170 cm, ensuring comfortable operation for combine harvesters. The medium-sized head is slightly convex, which positively impacts the uniformity of seed maturation. The elongated, black seeds contain 45–50% oil, making this hybrid highly attractive to the processing industry.

Comprehensive Protection

The key advantage of NA Tesan is its genetic resistance to a complex of diseases. In field conditions, the hybrid demonstrates strong resilience against threats such as:

• Rust;
• Phomopsis;
• Phoma;
• Powdery mildew.

These traits reduce the grower's reliance on fungicide applications, allowing for savings on crop protection agents without significant risk to the yield. NA Tesan represents a choice for stability, where every stage of vegetation is focused on producing high-quality, full-weight seeds capable of competing successfully in the oilseed market.
