Author(s): V. R. Senthamizh Kumaran* and M. Paramasivan
In India, oil seed production is not available to meet domestic requirements. India has been facing a recurring
shortage of edible oils for many years. Presently, about 23% of sunflower oil being consumed in India has to be
imported. To improve our country sunflower production by proper fertilizer management and used sunflower hybrids
in the production. This research was conducted to study the yield, seed quality and economics of hybrid sunflower
variety CO2 on alfisol of tambirabarani tract using a randomized complete block design replicated thrice with eight
treatments in 2016-2017.
The experiment consisted of eight treatments viz. T1-control, T2-60:90:60 kg of NPK ha-1+S at 25 kg ha-1+ZnSO4 at
25 kg ha-1, T3-60:90:60 kg of NPK ha-1+S at 12.5 kg ha.. View more»
