| dc.description.abstract | Sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) belongs to the family Astreaceae and it is one of the world‟s most important sources of vegetable oil. The native of sunflower is reported to be southern parts of USA and Mexico. Sunflower ranks third, next to groundnut and soybean in total production. In world it is cultivated in an area of 25.56 million hectares with an annual production of 40.64 million tonnes with productivity of 1590 kg ha-1 during 2015 (Anon., 2016). Sunflower was introduced to India during 1969 as a supplement to traditional oilseed crops to bridge the gap of recurring edible oil shortage in the country. The commercial cultivation of sunflower was started in India during 1972-73 with an introduction of Russian varieties from USSR and Canada. Now, the crop is well adopted because of attributes such as short duration, photoperiod insensitivity, adoptability to wide range of soil and climatic conditions, drought tolerance, higher seed multiplication ratio (1:50) having high percentage of edible oil (45-50 %), which contains polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA). | en_US |
