R 469 CLP

Stable yields in challenging infection environments

The French breeding expertise of Lidea offers a solution for farms that regularly deal with weed pressure and fungal disease outbreaks. The «Р 469 ЖПО» hybrid is a proven tool designed to deliver stable commercial grain yields with a high oil content (up to 50%) when managed under the Clearfield (Euro-Lightning) technology.

Practical benefits for the agronomist

• Weed control: Thanks to its resistance to imidazolinone herbicides, you can clear fields of difficult weeds and broomrape in a single pass without crop damage.
• Phytosanitary reliability: High tolerance to white rot and phomopsis is critical for high-moisture regions or crop rotations where sunflowers return to the same field more frequently than every 5 years.
• Managed cycle: A vegetation period of 100-110 days allows for precise harvesting schedule planning, either early or on time, reducing the risk of autumn rainfall interference.

Field application guidelines

Standing at 160-170 cm, the «Р 469 ЖПО» plants exhibit excellent uniformity, which facilitates easier header adjustment and minimizes harvest losses. The optimal strategy for this hybrid involves medium to high-fertility levels. Due to its adaptability, this sunflower handles minor agronomic oversights well, yet it reaches its maximum potential on fields with robust pathogen control. We recommend this option for operations seeking an optimal balance between crop protection and economic return on oil content.
