Abstract


Effect of different seed sizes viz., large, medium, small and the field run seed on germination, yield and the plant characteristics were studied with two varieties of sun- flower, EC, 68414 and EC. 68415. The large seeded plants were taller and recorded higher diameter of the stem and capitulum, number of seeds per capitulum, yield per se and thousand grain weight. The oil percentage did not differ significantly. Plants grown from larger seeds gave significantly higher yields.
