Sunflower P 64 LP 170

P 64 LP 170 is a mid-season, simple sunflower hybrid designed for Clearfield Plus technology, providing herbicide tolerance and high efficiency in weed control. The hybrid features high yield potential and a broad adaptation zone, including the Polesie, Forest Steppe, and Northern Steppe regions. It exhibits excellent resistance to 7 or more races of downy mildew (A-G+ System II), significantly reducing the risk of yield loss due to parasitic plants.

The hybrid’s plants are characterized by high drought tolerance (rating 9) and good seed oil content (rating 8). Additionally, P 64 LP 170 demonstrates excellent tolerance to major sunflower diseases, such as phomopsis, basket rot, verticillium, leaf wilting, and downy mildew. High disease resistance contributes to stable yield formation even under adverse conditions.

The vegetative period of the hybrid is approximately 119 days, with plants reaching high stature. The 1000-seed weight is about 59.7 grams. The recommended planting density depends on moisture levels: under adequate moisture, the optimal density is 50-55 thousand plants per hectare; under limited moisture, 45-50 thousand. Average yield in the Central Chernozem region reaches 34.4 centners per hectare, with a maximum of 46.5 centners, confirming the hybrid’s high productivity.
