Phytoremediation is the most common method to recover polluted environment caused by radionuclides. This study aims to determine the distribution of 134Cs and 60Co radionuclides in sunflower plants (Helianthus annuus. L). The sunflower plants were cultivated in soil media for 50 days, then transferred into a tube containing hydroponic solution contaminated by 134Cs and 60Co with variation of concentration of 134Cs (0.85 Bq/ml, 1.31 Bq/ml, 1.74 Bq/ml, 2.24 Bq/ml, 2.67 Bq/ml) and 60Co (4,213 Bq/ml, 8,537 Bq/ml, 12,187 Bq/ml). The distribution of radionuclides in roots, stems, leaves were observed using a gamma spectrometer to determine the accumulation of contaminants in plants. Samples were taken at varying intervals (0-720 hours) to determine the increased accumulation of contaminants in plants. The results showed that 134Cs and 60Co accumulated mostly in the leaf section. and the highest accumulation of 60Co was observed in the root section.

SUMMARY Seed germination of six sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) hybrids was investigated across a range of eleven constant temperatures between 5°C and 45°C. Large temperature differences in germination rate 1/t (d-1), cardinal temperature (°C) and thermal time θ (°cd) were observed among hybrids. Base temperatures (Tb) varied between 3.3°C and 6.7°C whereas maximum germination temperatures (Tm) varied between 41.7°C and 48.9°C. Final germination fraction was attained at 15°C - 25°C whereas the maximum rate of germination was attained at 30.4°C - 35.6°C. The maximum germination rate of hybrid USDA 894, the cultivar with the slowest germination rate, was only 50% of that of hybrid EX 47. The low Tb and high Tm of sunflower appear to be one of the factors which explain the successful adaptation of sunflower to a wide range of temperature. These findings are discussed in relation to the origin of the crop and its wide adaptations in diverse habitats and climatic zones.

SUMMARYA field experiment was conducted at Gandhi Krishi Vignana Kendra, University of Agricultural Sciences, Bangalore to study the effect of irrigation regimens on the biomass accumulation, canopy development, light interception and radiation use efficiency of sunflower. The treatments includes irrigating the plants at 0.4, 0.6, 0.8 and 1.0 cumulative pan evaporation. The results indicated that the aboveground biomass, canopy development, radiation interception and radiation use efficiency were influenced favorably by the irrigation regimens. Irrespective of the irrigation regimen, the radiation use efficiency of sunflower increased from 15 DAS to 75 DAS and then tended to decline. The decrease in RUE after anthesis is coupled with decrease in leaf nitrogen content. In general the RUE of sunflower ranged from 0.49 g MJ-1 to 1.84 g MJ-1 at different growth stages. The light transmission within the canopy increased exponentially with plant height and the canopy extension coefficient is found to be 0.8.

AbstractNew traits that are useful for the cultivated sunflower can be received by applying classical breeding methods. A new form sunflower that is resistant to herbicides Pulsar and Express was obtained by hybridization between the sunflower mutant M-95-674 and the line HA 425. Test results from the period 2017–2019 confirm the resistance to both herbicides. This resistance can be transferred into other classical selected lines.
