Sunflower ES COLORIS CL

Sunflower ES COLORIS CL is a mid-season hybrid developed using Clearfield technology, providing resistance to herbicides of this system. The vegetative period of the hybrid ranges from approximately 106 to 121 days, allowing effective use in various climatic conditions. The hybrid belongs to the oilseed type, with a seed oil content of 47-48%, and a 1000-seed weight of 65-67 grams at standard moisture. Plant height varies from 160 to 177 cm, and head diameter is 16-17 cm, contributing to good yield formation.

ES COLORIS CL exhibits high resistance to major diseases and pests, including race A-G of downy mildew, false powdery mildew due to the presence of the PL6 gene, verticillium wilt, rust, white and gray mold, and fusarium. The hybrid demonstrates high resistance to drought, lodging, and seed shattering, making it a reliable choice for cultivation in various agroclimatic zones. It is characterized by high early development energy and good plasticity, allowing successful cultivation both under medium and extensive technologies.

Recommended planting density depends on soil moisture level: under insufficient moisture, the optimal rate is 45-55 thousand plants per hectare, and under adequate moisture — 55-60 thousand. The hybrid is well-adapted for cultivation in regions such as steppe, forest-steppe, and meadow. ES COLORIS CL tolerates low agroclimatic conditions but can significantly increase yield with improved soil conditions and management, making it a profitable and versatile choice for agricultural producers.
