NAR 11

Field experience with NAR 11

When planning a sowing season, the main goal is predictability. With NAR 11 from NPK Selektsiya, we found the stability needed for unpredictable summer conditions. This is a simple sunflower hybrid that acts like a reliable workhorse in the field: minimal maintenance and a straightforward development cycle.

Field performance and crop protection

The 90-100 day growing season makes it easy to fit into the harvesting window, even if spring starts late. The most valuable feature for the operator is its resistance to Euro-Lightning herbicides. The Clearfield system allows for weed control in the early stages without extra cultivator passes, saving fuel and reducing soil compaction.

Crop diseases are a constant headache. Here, the breeder has clearly focused on genetics: phomopsis, phoma, and downy mildew (peronosporosis) are not a concern during the season. The crops stay clean, simplifying field monitoring.

Economics and yield

An oil content of 50-55% is a result that really pays off at the elevator. We see a stable oil yield, which makes the hectare economics transparent. For any farm, it is not just about quantity but also the quality of the seeds, and NAR 11 consistently provides well-filled, healthy heads.

• Type: simple hybrid, reliable yield performance.
• Resistance: strong genetic defense against diseases (phoma, phomopsis, downy mildew).
• Technology: compatible with Euro-Lightning for clean fields with minimal effort.
• Oil Content: up to 55% under standard agronomic practices.

If you are looking for a hybrid that performs without unnecessary complications and delivers great results for the granary, this option from NPK Selektsiya deserves a spot in your crop rotation.
