Sunflower Lion KLP

Processing Potential and Efficiency

The mid-ripening hybrid "Lion KLP" (F1), registered in 2026, is designed for intensive oilseed production in the Forest-Steppe zone. Its morphological traits, including a large head size and vigorous growth, directly contribute to economic efficiency. For processors, this hybrid is highly attractive due to its stable oil yield, resulting from high-quality seed filling.

Marketability and Logistics

The physical parameters of the achenes (medium size, elongated shape) ensure optimal bulk density during storage. Because the head is strongly convex and faces downward, the seeds are well-protected from excess moisture and birds, minimizing harvest losses and maintaining excellent market quality. The high uniformity of the crop facilitates combine harvester settings, reducing the percentage of seed breakage during threshing.

Storage and Transport

"Lion KLP" demonstrates excellent adaptability to warehouse logistics. The dense structure of the achenes and the lack of shattering tendency allow for timely harvesting, which is critical for preserving oil content. The crop is characterized by high transportability, making it a sought-after raw material for both local oil extraction plants and export markets.
