- Intervention effect Seed yield and oil yield of sunflower were significantly affected by sowing date, genotype and their interaction.
- Observation The coefficient of variation for oil yield was 7.6%.
- Observation The coefficient of variation for seed yield was 41.1%.
- Intervention effect Shifting the sowing date from mid-April to early May reduced the number of days plants spend in critical growth stages, escaping stress during pollination and seed filling.
- Observation On average the findings showed increased yields and improved seed quality.
- Observation 1000-seed weight was not increased.
- Association High temperatures during the critical sunflower growth stages negatively affected the measured seed production parameters.
- Association Increased precipitation during seed filling boosted 1000-seed mass and seed yield.
- Association Extended flowering reduced growth rate and seed germination.
- Association Longer seed filling increased 1000-seed mass and seed yield.
- Recommendation Future breeding should aim for genotypes with a shorter flowering period and an extended seed-filling period.
