About this product

LG 50480 Sunflower

LG 50480 is an early-maturing, short-statured sunflower hybrid positioned for the dry-farming regions of southern and eastern Ukraine, including fields under pressure from virulent broomrape races. Its standout strength is drought and stress tolerance, both rated 9 of 9, paired with yield stability at 9 of 9 that holds output across variable seasons. Resistance to broomrape races A to G and to new downy mildew races keeps stands clean in problem zones, while 9-of-9 lodging resistance eases harvest.
