Sunflower LG5661 CL

Efficient weed management with Clearfield technology

For agricultural producers aiming at weed-free fields and stable yields, the LG5661 CL sunflower hybrid from the French breeder Limagrain is a proven solution. Designed for the Clearfield production system, this hybrid simplifies field management and ensures robust development even in challenging environments.

Why choose LG5661 CL for your farm?

• Herbicidal Tolerance: The hybrid is perfectly suited for the Clearfield system, allowing the use of imidazolinone herbicides to control even the most persistent weeds and parasitic flora like broomrape.
• Disease Resistance: With built-in tolerance to Downy Mildew (Peronospora), Phomopsis, and Phoma, this hybrid effectively shields the crop from common regional pathogens, reducing the need for intensive fungicide spraying.
• High Oil Content: Delivering an oil content of 45-50%, the crop meets the quality standards of modern processing plants, ensuring strong demand and profitability.

Practical application and agronomics

With a growing season of 110-120 days, LG5661 CL fits well into standard crop rotations as a mid-early hybrid. Reaching a plant height of 150-160 cm, it maintains a strong stalk structure that simplifies harvesting operations and prevents lodging. The hybrid is engineered for intensive farming practices, providing consistent results across varying soil types. It is the ideal choice for fields with high weed pressure where operational efficiency and reliability of the final yield are of the utmost priority.
