Sunflower LG 5434M

Genetic Architecture of LG 5434M

The French breeding expertise of Limagrain focuses on the synergy between intensive growth and phytosanitary security. The LG 5434M hybrid provides a robust field solution where protecting yields from aggressive pathogens is a priority.

Biological Potential and Specifications

• Oil Content: A high yield of 45–50% is achieved through metabolic optimization, allowing the plant to synthesize fatty acids effectively even under inconsistent moisture levels.
• Morphology: A plant height of 150–160 cm provides an ideal biomass structure for development while maintaining excellent standability.
• Head Size: The medium-sized head serves as an agronomic sweet spot: it promotes uniform seed ripening and minimizes mechanical losses during harvesting.

Phytosanitary Barrier

The defining feature of the LG 5434M is its genetic resistance to downy mildew. In conditions of high humidity, where the risk of Peronospora development is acute, this hybrid exhibits high tolerance, keeping the photosynthetic surface active until the end of the vegetation cycle. This goes beyond simple disease control; it allows for minimized fungicide application and resource efficiency without compromising the quality of the commercial yield.
