Results of 2007 and 2008 tests of new experimental hybrids of confectionery sunflower type

Abstract

The basic goal of sunflower breeding at the Institute of Field and Vegetable Crops is the creation of standard hybrids with a high oil content and seed and oil yields and resistance to dominant diseases and drought. Beside that, confectionery hybrids for special food and feed purposes are also produced. In this respect, apart from breeding in order to improve the main seed yield components, special attention is given to an increase of protein content and quality, decrease of seed oil content, increase of 1,000-seed weight, and decrease of hull content. The goal of this paper was to examine the value of the new experimental sunflower hybrids of the confectionery type in relation to the standard hybrids.

U Institutu za ratarstvo i povrtarstvo Novi Sad pored osnovnog pravca oplemenjivanja suncokreta na stvaranju standardnih visoko uljanih hibrida sa visokim prinosom semena i ulja, otpornih prema dominantnim bolestima i suši, stvaraju se i visokoproduktivni hibridi za posebne namene konzumnog tipa namenjeni proizvodnji finalnih proizvoda od jezgra. U ovom programu pored oplemenjivanja na glavne komponente prinosa semena, posebna pažnja posvećena je povećanju sadržaja i kvaliteta proteina uz smanjenje sadržaj ulja u semenu, povećanju mase 1000 semena i smanjenju sadržaja ljuske. Cilj ovog rada je da se ispita vrednost novih eksperimentalnih konzumnih hibrida suncokreta u poređenju sa standardnim hibridima.
