LG50559 SX — a medium-height hybrid sunflower of medium maturity group, developed by Limagrain, one of the world’s leading companies in agricultural crop breeding. This hybrid is characterized by high plasticity and adaptability to various growing conditions, making it a versatile choice for farmers. Plants exhibit increased growth energy in early vegetative stages, promoting rapid development and resilience to adverse factors.

The LG50559 SX hybrid demonstrates high resistance to major races of the Russian sunflower moth (A–G), drought periods, sharp temperature fluctuations, as well as to most common diseases, including false powdery mildew, rust, fusarium, and fusarium wilt. Additionally, it is insensitive to weed infestation and resistant to herbicides used in the Express™ technology, ensuring effective crop protection and reducing the risk of yield losses.

Recommended growing zones for this hybrid are eastern and southern regions of Ukraine, where it shows optimal performance, especially in large agricultural holdings with consistent crop rotations. It may also be grown in central regions in combination with other hybrids to optimize flowering and harvest timing. Seeds of LG50559 SX feature well-developed kernels and high oil content under any weather conditions, making this hybrid attractive for producing high-quality sunflower oil.
