ES YASMINIS CLP

The ES YASMINIS CLP sunflower hybrid is a high-oleic, medium-intensity variety developed by BASF and recommended for cultivation in steppe and forest-steppe regions of Ukraine, including the Azov and Black Sea regions. Plants reach a height of 150–155 cm, with a flower head diameter of 22–24 cm, slightly leaning downward. The vegetative period of the hybrid is approximately 107 days. This hybrid exhibits high resistance to downy mildew (races A–G), as well as diseases such as rust, verticillium wilt, anthracnose, sclerotinia, alternaria, and false powdery mildew. Additionally, ES YASMINIS CLP demonstrates excellent lodging resistance at various vegetative stages and tolerates drought well, ensuring stable yields even under extensive conditions.

For weed control, the Clearfield® Plus technology is recommended, which effectively combats weeds using herbicides based on imazamox and imazapir. An important part of agronomic practices is applying fertilizers containing boron and nitrogen during the 4–6 true leaf stage, promoting optimal plant development and maximum yield. For disease protection, carbendazim-based preparations are used, while insecticides based on imidacloprid and lambda-cyhalothrin are applied for pest control.

ES YASMINIS CLP seeds are characterized by high oil content, making the hybrid in demand for oilseed production. Sowing rates vary depending on the region: in the Southern Steppe — 40–45 thousand seeds/ha, in the Steppe — 45–50 thousand seeds/ha, in the Forest-Steppe — 55–60 thousand seeds/ha. The hybrid rapidly accumulates vegetative mass when sown at optimal times and responds well to agronomic practices, ensuring stable and high yields under various climatic conditions.
