The CADILLAC CL sunflower is a mid-early, moderately intensive hybrid with high initial growth energy and significant yield potential, especially in drought-prone conditions. Plants have medium height and exhibit good early growth, contributing to successful crop development. The hybrid is characterized by high drought resistance and resistance to major diseases, including downy mildew (races A-G), frogeye leaf spot, and sclerotinia, ensuring stable yields even under challenging climatic conditions.
Oil content in CADILLAC CL seeds ranges from 47 to 49%, making it attractive for linseed oil production. Recommended planting density depends on moisture levels: in dry conditions, 35–45 thousand plants per hectare is optimal, while under moderate moisture, 40–50 thousand. The hybrid is adapted for cultivation in steppe zones and demonstrates high comprehensive tolerance to diseases and stress factors, confirmed by ratings of 8 to 9 points.
The CADILLAC CL cultivation technology conforms to the Clearfield system, providing resistance to imidazolinone herbicides and enabling effective weed control. The vegetation period lasts approximately 91–94 days, with flowering occurring on day 58–62, and plant height reaching 145–165 cm. High yield, stability, and adaptability make this hybrid an attractive choice for farmers seeking high-quality, reliable sunflower yields.
