Sunflower LK 15

LK 15 is a hybrid sunflower with high adaptability to various soil and climatic conditions, making it a universal choice for cultivation in different regions. It is characterized by high resistance to major sunflower diseases, including false powdery mildew, stem lodging, and several races of downy mildew (from A to G), significantly reducing the risk of yield losses. The hybrid is optimized for use with modern herbicides such as Fluency and Express, facilitating crop management and enhancing plant protection efficiency.

The maturity group of LK 15 is medium-early, with a vegetation period of about 108 days, allowing for a stable yield under moderately intensive cultivation conditions. The recommended sowing rate is 40-60 thousand seeds per hectare, depending on soil moisture levels. The hybrid's yield potential reaches 51 centners per hectare, with oil content in seeds at 50-52%, indicating high oil content and product quality.

A distinctive feature of LK 15 is its high-oleic type, with oleic acid content up to 86%, making the oil from its seeds especially valuable for the food industry and healthy nutrition. The seeds have been certified and adapted to the climatic conditions of Ukraine, confirming their reliability and efficiency in cultivation. Observing crop rotation and optimal sowing dates helps maximize the hybrid's potential and achieve high yield performance.
