Sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) is an efficient oilseed crop with high quality edible oil and wider adaptability. The crop has great potential for diversification of major cropping systems. It is responsive to inputs and management and relatively less thermo and photo insensitivity renders sunflower an ideal crop for all seasons. However, it is noticed that there is some setback for area due to depressed market prices.<\/span><\/p><div><a name=\"objective\"><\/a><\/div><h3 style=\"text-align: left;\">\u00a0<\/h3><h3 style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;
