Pakistan is facing an acute shortage of edible oil. In order to
overcome the prevailing situation, there is a dire need to increase
per acre yield of non-conventional oilseed crops. Plant density and
nitrogen fertilizer levels are among factors affecting sunflower
yield and seed oil percentage. The interaction between plant
spacing and N rate significantly affected seed and oil yields. In
this context, the OILCROP-SUN model has been tested with sunflower
and results indicated that achene yield of sunflower hybrid
cultivar among various planting densities was related to their
photosynthetic activity. The data suggested that there is
considerable scope to exploit the yield potential of sunflower
hybrid with variable planting density and nitrogen rates, depending
upon the prevailing climatic conditions. It may be concluded from
this study that planting density of 8.33 plants m-2band nitrogen
rate N2, 125 kg ha-1 (recommended dose) is recommended for
achieving high yield under agro ecological conditions of
Faisalabad.
