Pollka CL

Sunflower Pollka CL is an early-maturing hybrid developed for intensive cultivation in the Forest-Steppe and Steppe zones of Ukraine. The vegetation period is approximately 105-110 days, ensuring timely maturity and high yields up to 5.6 t/ha. The hybrid features intensive early growth and formation of a strong, low-growing stem due to optimal seeding rates, significantly enhancing resistance to lodging. Plant height reaches 165-170 cm, and the flower head is convex with a diameter of 18-20 cm and a semi-tilted position.

Pollka CL exhibits high drought resistance and is adapted to conditions of insufficient water supply, making it a reliable choice for water-saving technologies. Its well-developed root system promotes efficient use of water and nutrients. The hybrid demonstrates excellent disease tolerance, including false powdery mildew, fusarium, fusarium wilt, rust, gray and white mold, as well as resistance to sunflower moth and thistle. Resistance to bird damage is rated at level 9 (8 scales), further enhancing the crop's reliability.

Oil content in Pollka CL seeds ranges from 49 to 55%, ensuring high oil productivity. The hybrid is recommended for cultivation using Clearfield technology (under herbicides containing tribenuron-methyl) and shows stable yield and seed quality. Seeds are treated with Maxim XL, which helps protect against diseases and improves germination. The recommended planting density is 45-55 thousand plants per hectare, depending on the cultivation zone.
