Advantages of Pancho hybrid

Early maturity. The vegetation period is about 100–105 days, which allows the use of the hybrid in farms where early ripening of sunflowers is important.

High productivity potential. Under favorable conditions and compliance with cultivation technology, the potential of the hybrid is up to 5.6 t/ha.

SU / Granstar technology. Pancho is genetically resistant to tribenuron-methyl herbicides at a rate of 50 g/ha and can be used in the SU system.

High resistance to lupus. One of the key advantages of Pancho is its resistance to the A-G+ lupus races, which makes the hybrid interesting for fields with a high risk of lupus.(//tractor-service.com)

Resistance to laying and shedding. According to the VNIS assessment, the resistance to lodging and shedding is 9/9, which contributes to the preservation of the crop until harvesting.
