LG 71234 A — a high-yielding mid-season sunflower hybrid with high drought tolerance and stress resistance. Plants reach heights up to 155-160 cm, providing good lodging resistance. The hybrid is characterized by high initial growth energy, which promotes effective use of soil potential and stable yield formation. Due to plasticity to various soil and climatic conditions, LG 71234 A successfully adapts to cultivation in southern regions, including steppe and forest-steppe zones.
The hybrid demonstrates resistance to major sunflower diseases, including several races of sunflower nematode (A-G) and new strains of downy mildew. It also exhibits tolerance to herbicides such as Express FMC and tribenuron-methyl, allowing the use of modern plant protection technologies, including the Express technology under Granstar. High oil content in seeds (up to 49%) and a vegetative period of about 105-108 days make this hybrid attractive for intensive agriculture.
The potential yield of LG 71234 A reaches 35-45 c/ha, confirming its stability and efficiency in various cultivation conditions. The hybrid is characterized by high cold hardiness and low tendency to lodging, which further increases yield reliability. Traditional and intensive cultivation technologies are recommended to fully realize the potential of this sunflower.
