INSUN 288 CLP

INSUN 288 CLP sunflower is a mid-maturing hybrid developed by BASF, characterized by high resistance to Clearfield Plus herbicide technology. This hybrid exhibits resistance to various biotypes of ragweed, including A-G, as well as to false powdery mildew due to the presence of the PL6 gene. The recommended seeding rate ranges from 47,000 to 52,000 seeds per hectare under insufficient moisture and from 55,000 to 60,000 under sufficient moisture, allowing optimal sowing based on climatic conditions. INSUN 288 CLP is adapted for use with the herbicide Euro-Lightning, providing effective weed control and contributing to high yields. The hybrid demonstrates good resistance to major and new ragweed biotypes, as well as high resistance to diseases such as verticillium wilt, fomopsis, and rust. These traits make it a reliable choice for cultivation in various agroclimatic zones, including steppes, forest-steppe, and lowland areas. Moreover, INSUN 288 CLP exhibits drought tolerance and lodging resistance, ensuring stable yields even under adverse weather conditions. The hybrid is suitable for conventional cultivation systems and shows high yield performance, varying by region and conditions, as confirmed by testing. All these characteristics make INSUN 288 CLP an effective and promising solution for agricultural producers aiming to achieve high and stable sunflower yields.
