Abstract
Sunflower {Helianthus annuus) a member of family Asteraceae, is an
important edible oilseed crop originated in the central high lands of
Mexico and USA and was introduced to India during 1916. Commercial
cultivation of sunflower was started in India during 1972 after the
introduction of Russian varieties EC 68414 and EC 68415. Twenty six
genotypes of sunflower (Helianthis annus) were studied based on eight
characters to ascertain the correlation and path coefficient effect of yield
and yield components, prediction of seed yield and the magnitude of
genetic divergence
