Abstract

In order to identifying of high yielding compatible sunflower hybrids for different regions of Iran a set of 10 exotic hybrids from Serbia Turkey and Italy and four Iranian hybrids were evaluated for agronomic traits; days to flowering and maturity plant height head and stem diameter 1000-achenes weight achene number per head oil content and achene and oil yield. The experiments were conducted as completely randomized block design with four replications in Alborz Mazandaran Khuzestan and West Azerbaijan Provinces for two years (2017'2018). According to the results growing period of the hybrids were variable from 86 days for Dukat to 98 days for Fantaziya. The hybrids Slatki and Dukat had the highest (70 g) and lowest (56 g) 1000-achenes weight. The highest oil content was observed in 08TR003 (45.6%). Among the locations Miandoab had the highest achene yield (3110 kg/ha). In Sari; the hybrids Barzegar Fantaziya and Slatki (3080 2893 and 2853 kg/ha respectively) In Dezful; Barzegar Cartago and Oscar (3234 3409 and 3226 kg/ha respectively) in Karaj; Oscar Shams and Fantaziya (3138 3081 and 3050 kg/ha respectively) and in Miandob Shams Fantaziya and Slatki (4093 4038 and 3895 kg/ha respectively) had the highest achene yield. Considering overall mean Fantaziya Shams and Oskar had the highest achene yield (3286 3145 and 3087 kg/ha respectively) as well as Fantaziya followed by Barzegar and Shams had the highest oil yield (1396 1335 and 1330 kg/ha respectively). Considering phenotypic variability among the exotic hybrids Fantaziya Oskar Slatki Novak 08TR003 and Meteor with lower coefficient of variation and higher achene yield considered as the stable higher yielding hybrids in four test locations of Iran. Through identifying high-yielding and compatible hybrids the results of this study can assists in increasing of sunflower yield and production in Iran.
