Technology options
Genotype:
Two sunflower genotypes (hybrids) (Helianthus
annuus L.) are proposed for introduction:
- (1) Standard (linoleic) oil type; vegetation
period: total temperature sum required from
sowing to maturation - about 2800o C; uniform
crop 160-180 cm high; complete resistance to
Plasmopara helianthi and Orobanche cumana; seeds:
dark gray to black color, suitable for oil production;
yield potential under production conditions:
3 000 - 3 200 kg/ha.
- (2) Oleic type of oil; vegetation period:
total temperature sum required from sowing to
maturation - about 3000o C; uniform crop 150-170
cm high; complete resistance to Plasmopara helianthi,
susceptible to Orobanche cumana; seeds: dark
gray to black color, suitable for oil production;
yield potential under production conditions:
2 800 - 3 000 kg/ha.
Production characteristics of technology
- Use of mechanization: in 100 % of the elements;
- Use of conventional machines - in 100 % of
the element;
- Use of pesticides: 80-100 %;
- Use of mineral fertilization: moderate, depending
on the agrochemical parameters of soil.
Stages of introduction
- The Originator institution has to receive
information about the agroecological conditions
(including soil types, climate, specificity
of terrain) and the production conditions (including
agriculture system, technical equipment, etc.)
in the respective region of India so that the
team of authors can evaluate the possibilities
for adaptation of the technology.
- Signing of an agreement for introduction
of the varieties.
- Conducting a demonstration field trial.
