INSUN 222 CLP

Technological potential of INSAN 222 KLP

The French breeding expertise of Euralis Semences is reflected in the INSAN 222 KLP model, which combines the protection of the imidazolinone herbicide group with a robust phytosanitary profile. This sunflower hybrid is engineered for intensive agricultural systems where weed control is a critical yield factor.

Phytopathological protection

The main advantage of this hybrid is its genetically anchored resistance to a complex of pathogens. The strategy against downy mildew focuses on preventing systemic seedling infection, which is crucial during early vegetation stages. Simultaneously, high tolerance to powdery mildew ensures the preservation of the leaf photosynthetic surface until the physiological maturity phase, which directly correlates with the thousand-kernel weight.

Clearfield System Integration

Utilizing the 'EURO-LIGHTNING' technology with this hybrid enables efficient control of a broad spectrum of broadleaf and grass weeds, including problematic species like broomrape (Orobanche) across all existing races. The absence of phytotoxicity, when adherence to application regulations is maintained, allows the crop to fully realize its yield potential without diverting metabolic energy to overcome herbicide stress.

The technical value of INSAN 222 KLP lies in its stability: French originators at Lidea France (formerly Euralis) have instilled stress resistance typical for climates with uneven moisture. A developed root system allows for efficient moisture uptake from deeper soil layers, minimizing losses during short-term drought periods.
