Sunflower LG 59580

LG 59580 — mid-early express sunflower hybrid developed by Limagrain, characterized by high yield and resistance to various adverse factors. This hybrid possesses genetic resistance to seven races of downy mildew (A–G), new races of powdery mildew (false powdery mildew), as well as to sulfonylurea herbicides, enabling effective control of broadleaf weeds without negative soil impact. Plant height reaches 155 cm, and medium-sized heads with a diameter of approximately 15.8 cm contain large seeds weighing 72 g per thousand.

LG 59580 hybrid is distinguished by high plasticity and adaptability to various growing conditions, making it especially suitable for southern regions of the country, including the Steppe and forest-steppe zones. It is drought-tolerant, ensuring stable yields even under insufficient moisture. Recommended seeding density varies from 45 to 55 thousand plants per hectare, depending on moisture level, which contributes to achieving maximum productivity. Yield of the hybrid can reach up to 4 tons per hectare, and in the forest-steppe zone — 32–38 c/ha, in the Steppe — 30–35 c/ha.

LG 59580 seeds are characterized by high oil content — from 48 to 52%, making this hybrid profitable for oilseed production. Due to the combination of resistance to downy mildew, drought, diseases, and weeds, as well as high oil content and yield, LG 59580 is a universal and reliable choice for modern farmers aiming for stable and efficient sunflower cultivation.
