    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»
