New sunflower hybrid produces larger, more abundant seeds for agriculture.
New studies on sunflower plants' characteristics have identified new traits in the Hysun 162 IT hybrid, like a 17 cm head diameter and 105 g weight. Each head had 1470 achenes, weighing 65 g, with only 2-3% being empty. The seeds were 10 mm long, 5 mm wide, and weighed 44 g per thousand. These traits showed positive correlations, indicating good adaptability to current agricultural conditions.
