Sunflower LID1083H

Agrotechnological Profile of the LID1083H Hybrid

The French breeding company Lidea France SAS introduced the LID1083H hybrid in 2026, specifically designed for high-intensity farming systems. As an F1 hybrid, it requires strict adherence to the technological protocol to fully realize its genetic yield potential.

Sowing and Planting Recommendations

The optimal sowing window for LID1083H begins when the soil temperature reaches +10...+12°C at the seeding depth. The target plant density at harvest depends on the moisture availability in the specific region:

• In regions with sufficient moisture: 55,000–60,000 plants per hectare.
• In arid regions: 45,000–50,000 plants per hectare.

Maintaining a 70 cm row spacing ensures an optimal feeding area and effective crop ventilation, which is critical for preventing fungal diseases.

Crop Management and Development

This hybrid is highly responsive to mineral fertilization. The majority of nitrogen applications should be completed before sowing or during the 2–4 true leaf stage. Weed and pest control is recommended during the 6–8 leaf stage, as this is the critical period for head size determination.

Soil Requirements: LID1083H performs best on chernozems and chestnut soils with a neutral to slightly alkaline pH. Avoiding soil compaction is essential, as the hybrid requires high-quality root system aeration. During dry spells, moisture conservation through early harrowing and timely inter-row cultivation is vital for success.
