Sunflower ALURIS SL

ALURIS SL — a mid-season sunflower hybrid developed for Clearfield® Plus technology, providing effective weed control and increased yield. The vegetation period is approximately 115 days, allowing the hybrid to successfully adapt to the conditions of the North Caucasus region. Seeds have a 1000-seed mass of about 49.6 grams, and plants exhibit high or very high height with dark green leaf color.

The hybrid shows high resistance to race A-G of ragweed, significantly reducing yield loss from this pest. Additionally, ALURIS SL demonstrates high resistance to diseases, particularly to gray mold and false powdery mildew, due to the presence of PL6 and PL9 genes. Moderate resistance to dry rot also contributes to maintaining plant health under adverse weather conditions.

The recommended seeding rate depends on soil moisture levels: 47-52 thousand seeds per hectare under insufficient moisture, and 55-60 thousand under adequate moisture. The hybrid exhibits high germination energy in early development stages and high oil content, making it attractive for farmers aiming to achieve a quality and stable yield. Average yield in the cultivation region reaches 23.5 centners per hectare.
