Abstract

A study to test the influence of planting methods on the growth and yield of two sunflower cultivars was conducted
at the Oilseed Section Agriculture Research Institute, Tandojam Pakistan during 1997. The experimental treatments
included two planting methods viz. ridges and flat and two varieties viz: PSF-022-424 and HO-l. The results revealed
that both the varieties produced significantly different seed yield ha', whereas, planting methods had non-significant
effects on the yield and its attributes. HO-l had the tallest plants, more leaves, more stem girth, largest head size and
more biomass yield under flat planting. However, higher seed yield was produced by HO-l under ridge planting.
