The sunflower hybrid ZL 50 A is a high-yielding variety with a vegetation period of 110-112 days, developed for cultivation on various soil types. It is characterized by high initial growth energy and drought resistance, ensuring stable yields of up to 52 centners per hectare. The plants reach heights of up to 175 cm, have thick stems, and a powerful root system, which increases their resistance to lodging and adverse weather conditions. The hybrid responds well to fertile soils and intensive cultivation technologies, demonstrating uniform flowering and ripening, while seeds do not shed from the head at maturity.
ZL 50 A has a high oil content in the seeds—up to 48-50%, making it attractive to the oil industry. The hybrid is tolerant to the single application of the herbicide Grastar at a dosage of 50 g/ha, which facilitates weed control and reduces crop protection costs. In addition, it has high immunity to powdery mildew (both true and false) and is resistant to six common races of the phoma parasite (A-F), which significantly reduces the risk of crop losses due to diseases.
For sowing, a density of 50-55 thousand plants per hectare is recommended, which ensures optimal use of area and maximum productivity. The ZL 50 A hybrid is suitable for both conventional and minimum tillage, making it a universal choice for various agrotechnical conditions. Thanks to its characteristics and stress resistance, this sunflower is a reliable solution for farmers seeking high and quality yields.
