Sunflower AM KLP 25

Adaptability and Field Performance of AM KLP 25

The 2025 novelty from AF NPP AGROMYR, the high-oleic hybrid AM KLP 25, is engineered for intensive farming in the Steppe and Forest-Steppe zones of Ukraine. The F1 hybrid's genetic potential is focused on stability under fluctuating moisture conditions, which is supported by its distinct morphological traits.

Stress Tolerance and Morphology

This tall hybrid features a robust stem and intense pubescence at the apex (the last 5 cm), providing reliable protection against overheating and excessive moisture loss. Strong anthocyanin coloration of the hypocotyl during early development stages indicates high initial growth energy, which is critical for rapid canopy closure and weed suppression.

• Drought Tolerance: The large, downward-facing head, combined with moderate leaf blistering, allows the plant to effectively regulate transpiration during peak temperature periods.
• Lodging Resistance: Due to the absence of branching and a balanced plant height, the hybrid demonstrates high resistance to lodging even under strong wind conditions.
• Disease Resistance: The presence of pollen in the tubular flowers and the plant's overall physiological vigor contribute to strong resistance against pathogens common in the Steppe and Forest-Steppe regions.

AM KLP 25 is a strategic choice for farmers prioritizing high-oleic production with predictable yields. Its medium-early maturity group allows for flexible harvest planning, helping to mitigate risks associated with late autumn precipitation.
