This study was carried out to determine the correlation between agronomic traits and seed yield of sunflower hybrids and also to determine the direct and indirect effects of analyzed traits on seed yield. The primary task in sunflower breeding programs is to increase the seed yield as well as create new hybrids with high potential for seed and oil yield. The experiment was set up according to randomized block design during two growing seasons (2013 and 2014) on research area of the Faculty of Agriculture 'Goce Delchev' University ' Shtip in Ovche Pole locality Republic of Macedonia. As an experimental material 20 sunflower hybrids were used. 1000 seed weight seed length and width oil content oleic acid content and seed yield were analyzed. 1000 seed weight showed positive and significant correlation with seed width seed length and seed yield. On the other hand negative and significant correlation was obtained between 1000 seed weight and oil content. 1000 seed weight expressed the highest positive direct effect on seed yield. The results obtained from correlation and path analysis showed that the efficiency in the selection of seed yield in sunflower hybrids should increased through the selection of 1000 seed weight.
