Sunflower LG50475 is a high-oleic hybrid with high yield potential, characterized by resistance to race A-F of downy mildew and good comprehensive tolerance to major diseases. This hybrid is distinguished by stable oleic acid content and high oil content, making it attractive for producing high-quality oil. Plants reach an average height of about 165 cm, with a flower head diameter of approximately 17 cm and a 1,000-seed weight of about 65 g. The maturity group is medium-early, ensuring early harvest formation and suitability for various agronomic conditions.
LG50475 exhibits high plasticity to growing conditions, including high drought tolerance, making it suitable for regions with insufficient and adequate moisture. Recommended planting density varies depending on soil moisture: up to 55,000 plants per hectare under adequate moisture, and 45-50,000/ha under insufficient moisture. The hybrid possesses genetic resistance to mold (MGP), further enhancing its disease and stress resistance.
According to experts, LG50475 demonstrates high performance in yield potential, yield stability, oil content, initial growth energy, stress tolerance, cold tolerance, and lodging resistance. Disease tolerance is expressed by high scores for diseases such as frogeye leaf spot, root and head rot, anthracnose, dry rot, and fusarium. Due to these characteristics, the hybrid is recommended for optimal and late planting dates, while avoiding overcrowding to ensure good head formation and maximum productivity.
