Abstract

The aim of this study was to describe agrotechnical measures, sunflower seed yield and oil content in organic production over a five-year period (2016 – 2020). Sowing of sunflower was done in optimal terms in April, and harvesting in the last decade of September, so the length of vegetation was from 153 to 175 days. The average weight of 1000 grains varied from 81 g (2018) to 86 g (2020). The oil content in the analyzed period ranged from 44% (2018) to 53% (2020). The achieved yield of sunflower seeds varied from 3.7 t/ha (2016 and 2019) to 4.1 t/ha (2020).
