Response of Two Sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) Cultivars To Different Levels of Nitrogen

Abstract: Response of two sunflower cultivars namely Aritar-93 and suncom-110 to N levels of 0, 50, 100 and 150 kg ha^–1 was studied under field conditions. Sunflower cultivar suncom-110 produced significantly higher plant height, leaf area per plant, 1000-achene weight and achene yield. Plant height, leaf per plant, stem diameter, no. of achenes per disc and achene protein contents were maximum at N level of 150 kg ha^–1. Whereas, oil contents were significantly higher in control. Nitrogen application at 100 and 150 kg ha^–1 gave statistically similar achene yields of 15.95 and 16.18 q ha^–1 respectively. Application of nitrogen more than 100 kg ha^–1 seems to be uneconomical.
