Sunflower U 14 LGSLLM

U 14 LGSLLM is a high-oleic sunflower hybrid designed for cultivation in various climatic conditions, including forest-steppe and steppe zones. It features a medium-maturing group and a moderately vigorous growth type. Plants reach a height of 140-160 cm, with a vegetation period of approximately 106-110 days, ensuring stable yield formation at optimal times. The hybrid is characterized by high oil content in seeds — around 49-52%, with oleic acid content up to 86%, making it particularly valuable for producing high-quality oil.

The U 14 LGSLLM hybrid exhibits high resistance to major sunflower diseases, including false powdery mildew, stem lodging, and racemose rust A-G. This ensures reliable and stable yields even under adverse conditions. It is recommended to observe crop rotation and optimal sowing dates for maximum productivity. Seeds are treated with Cruiser, providing additional protection for plants during early growth stages.

Each sowing unit contains 150,000 seeds, which is typically sufficient for sowing 2 to 3 hectares depending on seeding rate and moisture conditions. The recommended seeding rate varies from 40,000 to 60,000 seeds per hectare. For southern regions, at a rate of 50,000 seeds per hectare, one bag covers 3 hectares; at 60,000 seeds per hectare, it covers 2.5 hectares. The hybrid is optimized for use with herbicides Fluence and Express, simplifying crop maintenance and enhancing weed control efficiency.
