Jaguar XL

Jaguar XL — a high-yielding confectionery sunflower hybrid of American selection from the company Nuseed, adapted for cultivation using Clearfield® technology. It belongs to mid-season varieties with a vegetation period of 102–111 days and is characterized by stability and uniform flowering. Plant height reaches 165–175 cm, ensuring good productivity and resistance to adverse conditions.

The hybrid features large striped seeds, which are in high demand among processors and are ideally suited for oil extraction and kernel processing. Jaguar XL exhibits high drought and disease resistance, including resistance to Sclerotinia (resistance to races A–E), Phomopsis, and white mold, as confirmed by 10-point scale ratings at level 7. Due to these qualities, the hybrid demonstrates strong early growth vigor and stable yield potential, reaching up to 3.4–4.8 tons per hectare.

This hybrid is an original variety with certified quality, making it a reliable choice for farmers focused on producing high-quality confectionery sunflower.
