Abstract
Information on yield and agricultural performance of new sunflower (Helianthus
annuus L.) hybrids grown under dry weather conditions in South Bulgaria is limited.
The objectives of this field study is to acquire information on seed yield and other
agricultural characteristics of five sunflower hybrids and their parental lines in South
Bulgaria. This research was carried out on the Experimental farm at the Agricultural
University in Plovdiv, Bulgaria in the seasons of 2008 and 2009. Statistical analysis
revealed that the differences among genotypes for all studied characters were
significant in both seasons as well as in the combined one.
