Hybrid sunflower Maximus CL F1 is a mid-early, high-yielding variety with high resistance to downy mildew and a broad spectrum of diseases, including alternaria, septoria, and rust. It is recommended for cultivation in various climatic conditions, including forest-steppe and steppe zones of Ukraine, and is well adapted to dry climates, heat, and temperature fluctuations. Due to its herbicide resistance within the CLEARFIELD® system, the hybrid provides reliable protection against weeds and pests, contributing to stable and high yields.
Maximus CL F1 is characterized by rapid early growth and medium plant height ranging from 145 to 165 cm. The vegetative period is approximately 92-108 days, classifying it as an early- and mid-early-maturing hybrid. The flower head diameter reaches 22-24 cm, and the seed yield is within 20-23%. The seeds are black, medium to large-sized, with high oil content — 48 to 52% — making this hybrid particularly valuable for oil production. The oil has high oleic acid content (up to 93%), improving its quality.
Hybrid Maximus CL F1 is suitable for use in modern agronomic technologies such as 'Clean Field' and 'SUMO', ensuring stable yields and good profitability. It does not tend to lodge, and seeds do not shatter, facilitating harvest and reducing losses. Due to its adaptive traits and resistance to stress conditions, this hybrid is a reliable choice for farmers seeking high-quality and stable sunflower yields.
