Sunflower N4L460 CL, also known as hybrid NHK 12 M 010, is a high-oleic mid-season hybrid developed by Nuseed (USA) for the Clearfield® system. The vegetation period is 108-110 days, allowing the hybrid to successfully adapt to various climatic conditions and ensure stable yields. Seeds are treated with Maxim HL and packaged at 150,000 per bag, sufficient for sowing on 2.2-2.5 ha. Plant height varies from 160 to 180 cm, contributing to good resistance to lodging and shattering.
The hybrid exhibits high resistance to major diseases and pests, including the A-G (8 races) of the corn rootworm, white mold, frogeye leaf spot, and NBR, with resistance ratings of 8 to 9. Additionally, the sunflower demonstrates excellent agronomic traits: high early growth rates, drought tolerance rated at 9, uniform flowering, and resistance to lodging. These characteristics make it a reliable choice for cultivation under variable climate and stressful conditions.
The oil content of the hybrid ranges from 47-54%, with oleic acid content in the oil reaching up to 92%, ensuring high product quality and value. The potential yield is 30-50 c/ha, confirming the hybrid’s high productivity. Thanks to its combination of stable oil content, disease resistance, tolerance to adverse conditions, and adaptability to Clearfield® technology, sunflower N4L460 CL is an effective solution for modern farmers seeking high-quality yields.
