crop Sunflower,
where this is mentioned in the description.
Sunflower uniformity is characterized by the morphological homogeneity of plants in terms of height and head diameter, as well as the biological synchronization of flowering and maturation stages. An important indicator is the uniformity of achenes in linear dimensions, which determines their fractional composition and technological quality.
This trait is assessed within the framework of the DUS (distinctness, uniformity, and stability) system using representative samples of up to 3000 plants. A high degree of hybrid uniformity ensures reduced losses during mechanized harvesting, allows for obtaining a uniformly maturing crop with consistent moisture content, and meets industrial requirements for confectionery-grade raw materials.
