Bred in the USSR and released commercially in 1960, Peredovik was once one of the most widely grown sunflowers in the world, with nearly 3 million acres being grown in the Soviet Union alone. At the time of its release in the United States in Canada, the Peredovik sunflower bested commonly grown cultivars by nearly 30% in overall oil content, leading to a massive increase in the amount of sunflower acreage grown in North America. It maintained its prominence throughout the late 1960's and early 1970's owing to its excellent yield and improved resistance to common diseases and pests like rust, Verticullium wilt and broomrape.
Although replaced commercially by the advent of hybrid varieties, the Peredovik sunflower remains a popular variety today, with considerable acreages being grown by conservationists, hunters and bird lovers. If you find yourself in one of these categories, or are just looking for a dependable, easy-to-grow sunflower, Peredovik is the way to go.
