Irrigation scheduled at IW/CPE value of 0.75 was found optimum. lesser irrigation was at the expense of yield and higher irrigation was superfluous. Sunflower responded well to fertiliser application and the yield at a manurial level of 40:60:40 kg N, PO. KO per hectere was the highest (1246 kg/ha) and was economical
