The sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) is an oilseed crop with agronomic features that justify its tillage in the southeast of Brazil. The objective of this work was to evaluate the agronomic performance of sunflower genotypes tallaged in Muzambinho (MG) in the second harvest. It was adopted the randomized blocks design, with six genotypes (MULTISSOL, BRS G35, BRS G47, BRS G48, M734, and SYN 045) and four repetitions, totalizing 24 experimental plots with an area of 16.8 m2 on its plot. The plant population adopted was about 45000 plants ha-1. The obtained data were submitted to the analysis of variance and the Tukey test, by 5% of probability. There was variation in the agronomic performance of the genotypes to all evaluate parameters. The variety of MULTISSOL was the genotype that presented the larger precocity. The hybrid SYN 045 presented the longer cycle. The hybrid M734 is the genotype with a bigger weight of 1.000 achenes. The genotypes that provided the better yield of grains and oil were M734, SYN 045 and BRS G48. The biggest oil content in the achenes was observed in SYN 045 e BRS G48.

This study investigated the influence of plant density on several agronomic traits of four sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) cultivars grown at Indian Head and Saskatoon, Saskatchewan in the semiarid prairies. At populations of 40 000–85 000 plants∙ha−1, plant density had no significant effect on seed yield. The increase in percentage oil content with increase in plant density (44.3–45.6%) was small but significant. As plant density was increased, days to flower, height and test weight increased while days to maturity, head diameter and average seed weight decreased. Cultivars × density interactions were generally not significant. Environment (five location-years) had a significant effect on all variables, and environments × cultivar interactions were significant for most of these. Results of this experiment indicated that testing of sunflower lines at several locations in the growing area would be necessary for best assessment but one plant density, suitable to that area, could be used.Key words: Sunflower, plant density, seed, oil, seed size, Helianthus annuus L.

Heterosis occurred for the eight plant and seed characters studied. It was most frequent for yield of seed and height of plant. Mean squares for general combining ability (gca) and specific combining ability (sca) were significant (P =.01) for all characters. The estimated components for gca were greater than for sca for days to mature, weight per bushel, and percent oil in the seed; less for height and yield of seed; and essentially the same for days to bloom, diameter of head, and weight per 1000 seeds.The yield of seed and percent oil in the seed, for the highest ranking 100 synthetics that could be composed from the 10 lines, was predicted in F6 assuming 50 and 60% outcrossing between F2 and F6. Virtually all values exceeded the mean performance of four check samples of commercial hybrids. Many exceeded the highest rank check for oil content in the seed. Fourteen of the highest ranking 100 synthetics for yield and 30 for oil content consisted of two or three lines. It was concluded that synthetics can be superior to the present hybrids in heterosis and that desirable synthetics can be made from only a few lines.

Growth compensation of dwarf sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) hybrids to low initial stands, later stand losses, or plant defoliation has not been reported regarding replanting decisions and crop insurance yield loss assessment. Three experiments were conducted to study the affect of stand reduction, defoliation, and row spacing on dwarf sunflower yield and quality when grown in eastern North Dakota. Experiment 1 evaluated stand reduction (0, 25, 50 and 75%) applied at growth stages (V4, R1 and R6) in 15, 45 and 76 cm spaced rows. Row spacing interactions with stand reduction and growth stage were not significant for yield indicating growth stage and stand reduction effects on yield response were independent of row spacing. In exp. 2, significant growth stage (V4, V8, R1, R2, R3, R5 and R6) by stand reduction (0, 12, 25, 37, 50, 62 and 75%) interaction showed stand reduction at vegetative growth stages not influencing yield, but as maturity progressed yield reductions became greater with increased stand reduction. Achene weight increased with increasing stand reduction at vegetative and early reproductive stages. A reciprocal relationship was noted between achene weight and achene oil content where oil content decreased as achene weight increased. Interaction of growth stage (R1 and R6) and defoliation (0, 25, 50, 75 and 100%) in exp. 3 indicated greater reduction in yield, test weight, 1000-achene weight, and achene oil conte nt as defoliatin increased at growth stage R6. Yield compensating ability of dwarf sunflower is dependent on type and level of damage and growth stage of occurrence, with total yield reduction considering all effects. Key words: Sunflower, Helianthus annuus L., row spacing, stand reduction, defoliation

SUMMARYGenetic diversity was assessed in 46 non-oilseed sunflower genotypes for 14 characters by adopting D2 analysis. Oil content and plant height exhibited maximum contributions towards genetic divergence. The genotypes were grouped into 11 clusters. The inter-cluster D2 values ranged from 288.17 to 3972.34. The contribution of oil content towards genetic divergence in the 46 genotypes was confirmed when D2 analysis was performed for seed characteristics such as test weight, volume weight, hull content, kernel recovery, oil and protein content.

Single and three-way crosses of sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) hybrids were compared for yield and oil content by testing two groups of hybrids for 2 years. In the first group, the difference in yield and oil content between the two types was not significant, and in the second group the difference in yield was not significant. The oil content of the single crosses in the second group was 7 g kg−1 higher. The coefficient of variability for yield was similar in the two types of hybrids in both groups, indicating no difference in stability.Key words: Sunflower, Helianthus annuus L., single crosses, three-way crosses, oil content, achene yield

SUMMARY Standard heterosis was estimated for eight quantitative traits in top-cross hybrids of three diverse cytoplasmic male sterile (CMS) sources of sunflower viz., Helianthus petiolaris (CMS-PET1), Helianthus petiolaris ssp. fallax (CMS-PEF1) and Helianthus annuus ssp. lenticularis (CMS-ANL2) maintained under different nuclear backgrounds. The top-cross hybrids were derived by crossing the above three CMS sources with 12 male parents in a line x tester design. Significant heterosis over two standard checks in the desirable direction was observed for all traits. All three sources under study advanced the maturity in most of the hybrids. CMS-PET1 was found to be the best compared with the other sources as far as oil content was concerned. Mean performance of the hybrids for achene yield and other economically important characteristics indicated that the hybrids derived in the cytoplasmic background of CMSANL2 were the best followed by CMS-PET1 and CMS-PEF1 suggesting that CMS diversification in heterosis breeding programs would be rewarding in sunflower.
