Sunflower ES GENERALIS CL

The ES GENERALIS CL sunflower hybrid is a medium-early linoleic variety with a vegetation period of about 110-115 days. Plants reach a height of 170-180 cm, and the head diameter is 20-24 cm. This hybrid is distinguished by its high oil content — 48-49% — making it attractive for oil production. Due to its genetic resistance to seven races of sunflower flea beetle, ES GENERALIS CL provides reliable protection against this dangerous pest, significantly enhancing crop stability.

The hybrid is recommended for cultivation in various climatic zones, including Steppe, Forest Steppe, and Polесье. It demonstrates high drought tolerance and good resistance to several diseases, such as Phomopsis, head and stem sclerotinia, rust, verticillium wilt, and false powdery mildew. Thanks to the Clearfield technology, ES GENERALIS CL offers flexibility in weed control, allowing effective management with specialized herbicides. Recommended sowing rates vary depending on regional moisture levels: from 40 to 60 thousand seeds per hectare.

For optimal plant growth and protection, it is recommended to apply boron and nitrogen-containing products during the 4-6 true leaf stage. Weed control is achieved using herbicides based on imazamox and imazapir, while disease protection involves products containing carbendazim. Pesticides based on imidacloprid and lambda-cyhalothrin effectively control pests. Additionally, herbicides with isopropylamine salt of glyphosate are recommended to maintain clean crops. ES GENERALIS CL shows high yield and stability under various conditions, making it a profitable choice for farmers.
