Sunflower cultivation is one of the most profitable areas of agricultural production. It is one of the main crops in Ukraine, capable of producing about 750 kg of oil per hectare. In 2021, a record 6.5 million ha were allocated for sunflower cultivation. This article presents the results of studying the effect of plant density on the productivity of the studied sunflower hybrids. Bacterial preparations had a positive effect on the height of sunflower plants. In the control variant, the plants were 3.6% shorter, while in the experimental variants treated with MYCOFRIEND (0.125 kg/ha) + GROUNDFIX (3.0 l/ha) + HELPROST Boron (2 l/ha) at the 3-6 leaf stage, the plant height was 3.6% higher. In variants treated with AZOTOFIX (0.3 l/ha) + ORGANIC-BALANCE Monophosphorus (0.5 l/ha) + HELPROST Boron (2 L/ha) at the 3-6 leaf stage, the hybrid was 1.2% shorter. Foliar nutrition positively affected leaf number per plant and leaf surface area. The leaf number and leaf surface area increased by 6.7-9.6% and 4.5-9.3%, respectively, in variants where foliar nutrition was applied compared to the control. The sunflower seed productivity coefficient was measured: seed number per head in the control variant (without foliar feeding) was 1,540, seed mass per head was 54.0 g, and 1,000-seed weight was 35.1 g lower than in the variants treated with foliar fertilizers AZOTOFIX (0.3 l/ha) + ORGANIC-BALANCE Monophosphorus (0.5 l/ha) + HELPROST Boron (2 L/ha) at the 3-6 leaf stage, where these indicators increased to 1,547 seeds, 58.4 g per head, and 1,000-seed weight of 37.8 g, respectively. The P64LE25 hybrid showed a significant advantage when sprayed with MYCOFRIEND (0.125 kg/ha) + GROUNDFIX (3.0 L/ha) + HELPROST Boron (2 l/ha) at the 3-6 leaf stage, thanks to the balanced content of macro- and micronutrients that are quickly absorbed by the plant. This hybrid had 67 seeds per head more than the control variant, which had 1,607 seeds. The seed mass per head and 1,000-seed weight were 8.3 g and 3.7 g higher than the control, respectively. The influence of foliar nutrition on sunflower growth and development, as well as increased resistance to adverse weather conditions, contributed to a higher yield compared to the control. When MYCOFRIEND (0.125 kg/ha) + GROUNDFIX (3.0 L/ha) + HELPROST Boron (2 L/ha) were applied at the 3–6 leaf stage, the yield increased by 0.79 t/ha to 3.39 t/ha. When AZOTOFIX (0.3 L/ha) + ORGANIC-BALANCE Monophosphorus (0.5 L/ha) + HELPROST Boron (2 L/ha) were applied at the same stage, the yield increased by 0.67 t/ha to reach 3.27 t/ha.
