Variety description

10 August 2026

This specimen is breeding material developed for the creation of hybrids. The line is not intended for direct sowing in commercial farms, and confusion with commercial hybrids often arises due to the use of the label "IMI" in names, which indicates resistance to imidazolinones.

In scientific studies evaluating the tolerance of sunflower to charcoal rot, this line demonstrated high susceptibility to the specified disease during field trials.
