IMI AB 18

IMI AB 18 is an early-maturing sunflower hybrid developed for cultivation under the EuroLightning system. It is characterized by high yields of up to 45 c/ha and an oil content of about 51%. The plants reach a height of about 170 cm, while the head diameter is approximately 35 cm. The hybrid is resistant to imidazolinone herbicides, which allows for effective control of parasites such as sunflower gall rust and ensures crop stability even under stress conditions.

This sunflower exhibits high stress tolerance and yield stability, making it a reliable choice for various climatic conditions. By using herbicides based on imidazolinones, infestation by pests and weeds can be significantly reduced, which contributes to improving the quality and quantity of the harvest. The high oil content of the seeds makes the hybrid attractive for oil production.

IMI AB 18 is suitable for cultivation in various agro-climatic zones, including steppe and forest-steppe regions. Its drought and disease resistance, as well as tolerance to herbicides, allow the use of modern plant protection technologies and ensure high production efficiency. The hybrid is recommended for intensive cultivation technologies, which contributes to achieving maximum yield potential.
