To find out the effect of irrigation regimes and phosphorus levels with phosphate soulbilizing micro-organisms on yield components and yield of hybrid sunflower, field experiments were conducted in split-plot design at Tamil Nadu Agricultural University with three irrigation regimes and two levels of phosphorus with and without phosphobacteria application. Irrigating at higher level (Irrigation water: Cumulative pan evaporation ratio of 0.75) of irrigation at 5 cm depth recorded higher yield components and seed yield of sunflower. Similarly application of 90 kg P20 ha along with phosphobacteria application significantly influenced the yield components and yield of sunflower.
