About this product

LG 50616 Sunflower

LG 50616 is a medium-early sunflower hybrid from Limagrain, bred for the Steppe and Forest-Steppe zones of Ukraine and suited to farms running sunflower-heavy rotations. It scores 9/9 for oil content and yield potential, and its high tolerance to sunflower rust supports returning the crop to the same fields. Drought tolerance and lodging resistance both rate 9/9, holding output through dry, stressed seasons. It responds to intensive technology and balanced nutrition, and carries broomrape resistance across races A to G.
