Sunflower N4H422 CL

Technological potential of N4H422 CL

The N4H422 CL three-way hybrid by Nuseed Europe is a breeding solution focused on intensive farming with an emphasis on stable oil content. The hybrid's genetic architecture is built around the Clearfield (Euro-Lightning) system, allowing agronomists to effectively control field weeds without risking phytotoxicity to the crop itself.

Phytosanitary barrier

A key advantage of this sunflower is its comprehensive resistance to pathogens that often limit yields in regions with high humidity or intensive crop rotation:

• Fungicidal profile: High tolerance to Phomopsis and powdery mildew significantly reduces the need for additional chemical treatments during the growing season.
• Soil infection protection: The genetic foundation effectively suppresses the development of white rot and downy mildew, which is critical in dense plantings.

Morphology and productivity

A short vegetation period (100–110 days) makes N4H422 CL an optimal choice for regions with short summer seasons or for double-cropping systems. The plant height of 90–100 cm simplifies mechanical harvesting, reducing header losses. Furthermore, the oil content of 50–55% makes the product highly liquid in the processing market. The meticulously balanced structure of this three-way hybrid ensures uniform emergence and standability, guaranteeing predictable results when following the agronomic guidelines.
