Thanks to the possibility of using the herbicide of the imidazoline group ((IMI) EuroLightning, EuroLightning plus, as well as their analogues) on crops of the GRISLY sunflower hybrid in the phase from 2 to 4 pairs of true leaves, we get rid of competition from weeds of monocotyledonous (cereal) and dicotyledonous species, as well as wolfberry, which makes it possible to obtain a large harvest.

The GRIZZLY sunflower hybrid has good genetic resistance to new breeds of sunflower.
