N5H493 CL

Stability under Clearfield protection

The sunflower hybrid N5X493 CL from Nuseed Europe is the choice for agronomists prioritizing predictable results in weed-infested fields. Working with the Clearfield (Euro-Lightning) technology combined with high genetic potential makes this hybrid an essential tool for intensive farming.

Phytosanitary shield

The key advantage of the N5X493 CL lies in its complex resistance to major pathogens that threaten yields in temperate climates. Nuseed Europe breeders, combining the expertise of international research centers, have achieved high resistance to:

• Verticillium wilt and downy mildew — significant threats in high-moisture conditions.
• White mold, phomopsis, and phoma — diseases that compromise seed quality and oil content.

This biological baseline allows for substantial savings on fungicide applications, reducing the cost per hectare.

Technical features

N5X493 CL is a single-cross hybrid with gray-striped seeds, reflecting Nuseed's traditional focus on high germination energy and uniform emergence. The use of imidazolinone-group herbicides (Euro-Lightning) effectively solves the issue of broomrape and hard-to-control weeds that compete with the sunflower for moisture and nutrients.

Who is this hybrid for?

This variety is an optimal solution for farms facing aggressive weed pressure and the risk of fungal infections. N5X493 CL is not just a seed material; it is a ready-made protection strategy, ensuring peace of mind for the farmer during growing seasons with unstable weather conditions.
