LG50550 CLP Sunflower is a mid-early hybrid developed using Clearfield Plus and SUNEO technologies, providing high resistance to ragweed A-G. The plant is medium-height, reaching an average height of about 155 cm, with a flower head diameter of approximately 17 cm and an average seed weight of 73 g for 1000 seeds. This hybrid is characterized by high oil content and stable yield, making it an attractive choice for various growing zones.

The LG50550 CLP hybrid exhibits high tolerance to a range of diseases, including fusarium, fusarium wilt, root and head sclerotinia, as well as gray and dry rot. Its genetics include Mildew Control (MGP), further enhancing disease resistance. Additionally, the sunflower demonstrates high drought and cold tolerance, allowing successful cultivation in various climatic conditions, including steppe and northern regions.

To maximize the hybrid's potential, it is recommended to follow intensive cultivation practices on fertile soils with balanced mineral nutrition. Optimal planting density depends on moisture levels: in well-watered zones — up to 55,000 plants per hectare; in drier conditions — 45-50,000 plants per hectare. Avoiding overcrowding is advised to ensure better growth and yield.
