The economic efficiency of sunflower cultivation under various seeding rates

In modern economic conditions, agricultural producers need a competent strategic approach to the formation of crop rotation, focused not only on the set of crops in crop rotation that has been customary for farms for years, but also taking into account the economic component of production planning. At the same time, the choice of crop is no less important than its variety (hybrid), which will contribute to the maximum fulfillment of its biological potential in specific production conditions. High adaptability, productivity, and resistance to diseases characterize varieties and hybrids of the breeding of V.S. Pustovoit All-Russian Research Institute of Oil Crops but farmers undeservingly ignore them. The yield level and the quality of sunflower seeds directly depend on the cultivation technology, which must be given due attention regardless of the choice of variety. In particular, compliance with the recommended plant density is of high relevance. In this regard, the aim of the research was to evaluate the economic efficiency of cultivating highly productive varieties and hybrids of sunflower of the breeding of V...
