Sunflower ARLLEM CLP

ARLLEM CLP sunflower hybrid is an early-maturing and high-yielding variety, designed for cultivation in various soil-climatic conditions in Ukraine, including the Polissia, Forest-Steppe, and Steppe regions. It has a vegetation period of approximately 100-110 days and reaches a height of up to 178 cm. The plants have a strong stem and a well-developed root system, ensuring drought resistance and stable high yields under proper care. The flower head diameter is about 25-26 cm, flat and semi-upturned, which promotes maximum seed filling. ARLLEM CLP is distinguished by its high oil content — oil content in seeds reaches 54%, which is advantageous for oil production. The hybrid’s yield potential is up to 56 c/ha (5.6 t/ha), while average yield consistently reaches about 47-55 c/ha. The hybrid is resistant to herbicides containing tribenuron-methyl (SU) and tolerates Granstar herbicide application at doses up to 50 g/ha, facilitating weed control and improving agronomic efficiency. Special attention has been given to seed protection: seeds undergo fungicide-pesticide coating using carbendazim, metalaxyl-M, microfertilizers, growth stimulators, and polymer dye, which promotes healthy plant development and increases yield. The hybrid is resistant to diseases and weeds and maintains high yield stability even under drought conditions. The recommended plant population is 45–55 thousand per hectare, which optimizes land use and maximizes the hybrid’s potential.
