About this product

LG50549 SX Sunflower

LG50549 SX is a medium-early sunflower hybrid developed for the arid, steppe regions of Ukraine and areas where broomrape is widespread. It carries resistance to broomrape races A-G and tolerance to the Express™ herbicide system, pairing high drought tolerance (9/9) with strong yield potential (9/9) and vigorous early growth. The hybrid suits classic and deep tillage on fertile soils and performs as a partner to LG59580 and LG50529 SX. Sowing into cold, unwarmed soil is not advised.
