Sunflower L 11

Technological Profile of the Ultra-Early Hybrid L 11

This breeding development by "Nik Novye Tekhnologii" serves as a precise tool for farmers operating in regions with short frost-free periods or for those planning to use the hybrid as a double-crop. The core focus of the L 11 genetics is placed on early maturity and high lipid concentration in the seed.

Biological Potential and Vegetation Parameters

The vegetation period of the hybrid is 90–100 days. In intensive farming systems, this short cycle allows the crop to avoid peak summer temperatures, which often lead to pollen sterility, and to bypass critical drought phases. The high oil content (50–55%) makes this product highly profitable for processing facilities.

Phytosanitary Properties and Morphology

A key advantage of this breeding line is its genetic resistance to powdery mildew. This factor reduces the fungicidal load on the field, allowing for cost-efficiency in crop protection programs. Morphological features include a medium-sized head, ensuring uniform maturation and simplifying the harvesting process with minimal loss during threshing.

• Originator: "Nik Novye Tekhnologii" (Russia).
• Oil content: 50–55%.
• Vegetation period: 90–100 days.
• Immunity: high resistance to powdery mildew.

This hybrid demonstrates stability under various soil and climatic conditions, meeting the agronomic requirements for combining fast moisture release with high commercial grain yields.
