About this product

LG 50489 SX Sunflower

LG 50489 SX is an early to medium-early sunflower hybrid from Limagrain, released for the Polissia, forest-steppe and steppe zones of Ukraine and optimised for the Express herbicide system. Short-statured with strong drought tolerance (8/9) and 9/9 yield potential and stability, it suits medium- to high-intensity farms targeting high oil content under variable moisture. It carries broomrape resistance across races A-G and genetic downy mildew control, and pairs with LG50479 SX to stagger flowering and spread the harvest window.
