This hybrid has good drought resistance up to + 60 C*.

It is characterized by uniform full ripening, resistant to lying down and shedding (heavy rains, hurricane wind, hail), sunflower is harvested in a straight line and does not require desiccation.

And it is practically not affected by these diseases.

This hybrid is resistant to all harmful insects due to the introduction into the DNA structure of the sunflower cell of the tetra gene isolated from the bitter wormwood plant, such as (pollinator, meadow moth, may beetle, sand honeydew, sunflower spike, firefly, barbel, gray southern weevil, white moth, winter cotton bollworm, aphid and etc.).

Resistant to abiotic stresses (temperature changes from + 53 C* to - 16 C*) throughout the growing season.

The yield of the transgenicconfectionery sunflower hybrid VIKING F 696 is 47 cents - 48 cents. c 1 - ha.

Sowing Sunflower hybrids are sown in early spring from March 5 to May 30, inclusive, when the air temperature warms up to + 2С*, +4С*, as it is not afraid of spring frosts, sunflower seedlings appear after - 9 days.

The seeding rate of the Canadian hybrid VIKING F 696 per 1 ha is 3 kg, sown to a depth of 8 cm, using a square-nest or dotted method of sowing. The sunflower yield depends on the density of planting. For the regions of the southern steppe, the optimal density of planting is 17-18 thousand, for the Northern steppe, 19-20 thousand, for the regions of the forest-steppe, 21-22 thousand. on 1 ha. With the square-nest method of sowing according to the 70 x 70 cm pattern, in the forest-steppe in each nest 1 - 2 plants, and in the steppe areas 2 plants. For sunflowers, it is recommended to plow the field. Pre-sowing soil treatment should provide fine-grained, well-drained soil. Only well-dried soil is treated. Surface application of fertilizer at the same time protects the soil from contamination. 1.5 - 3 l. per 1 ha before sowing, immediately after sowing until germination, Frontier Optima (0.8 - 1.4 l/ha), Select 1.4 - 1.8 l per 1 ha regardless of plant phase, Centurion 0.6 l - 0.8 liter regardless of plant phase, Plenge 80 grams per 1 ha in any phase of sunflower, Panther (1 l/ha - 2 l/ha).

Гербициды использовать по надобности в зависимости от спектра бурьянов - Харнес к.е. 1,5 – 3 л. на 1 - га перед посевом, сразу после посева до всходов, Фронтьер оптима (0,8 - 1,4 л\г), Селект 1,4 - 1,8 л на 1 га не зависимо от фазы растений, Центурион 0,6 л – 0,8 литр не зависимо от фазы растений, Пленж 80 - грамм на 1га в любых фазах подсолнуха, Пантера (1 л\га – 2 л/га).

Fertilizers recommended application doses of fertilized 85 - 90 kg per 1 - hectare of superphosphate at the time of sowing 125 kg - 130 kg per 1 - ha of nitroammophosk or (carbomid) before sowing or after germination.
