Sunflower P64LE20

Sunflower P64LE20 is a spring hybrid of linoleic type, characterized by high oil content and designed for high yield. This variety has a medium maturity period of about 125 days and medium plant height with a strong stem and downward-leaning head, which securely holds seeds until full maturity. The thousand-seed mass can reach 65 grams, and the dark green leaf color indicates good crop development.

The variety exhibits high resistance to lodging and drought tolerance, making it particularly suitable for cultivation in various climatic zones, including sandy soils of northern and northeastern regions. Sunflower P64LE20 is well-adapted to ExpressSan technology, facilitating herbicide application and reducing fungicide requirements due to tolerance to economically significant diseases, including new races of powdery mildew. Additionally, the variety shows resistance to soil-applied herbicides based on acetochlor and herbicide Salsa when used with the adjuvant Trend.

Cultivation of sunflower P64LE20 requires timely care, including weed and pest control, as well as maintaining optimal plant density depending on soil moisture. In areas with sufficient moisture, a density of 55-60 thousand plants per hectare is recommended, while in drier areas — 50-55 thousand. Thanks to its agronomic characteristics and versatility, this hybrid ensures stable and high yields, making it an attractive choice for farmers aiming for efficient and sustainable sunflower production.
