About this product

LG 50540 HO CLP Sunflower

LG 50540 HO CLP is a high-oleic sunflower hybrid of early to medium-early maturity, cleared for the Clearfield Plus herbicide system and zoned for Polissia, Forest-Steppe and Steppe. It resists broomrape races A-G, adds genetic mildew control, and rates 8/9 for drought tolerance, which supports both dry southern placement and intensive moist-zone fields. Yield potential and stability both rate 9/9, with early vigour at 9/9. Target harvest stands run up to 55 thousand per hectare in moist zones and 45-50 thousand where moisture is limited.
