This study investigated the influence of plant density on several agronomic traits of four sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) cultivars grown at Indian Head and Saskatoon, Saskatchewan in the semiarid prairies. At populations of 40 000–85 000 plants∙ha−1, plant density had no significant effect on seed yield. The increase in percentage oil content with increase in plant density (44.3–45.6%) was small but significant. As plant density was increased, days to flower, height and test weight increased while days to maturity, head diameter and average seed weight decreased. Cultivars × density interactions were generally not significant. Environment (five location-years) had a significant effect on all variables, and environments × cultivar interactions were significant for most of these. Results of this experiment indicated that testing of sunflower lines at several locations in the growing area would be necessary for best assessment but one plant density, suitable to that area, could be used.Key words: Sunflower, plant density, seed, oil, seed size, Helianthus annuus L.

SUMMARY Standard heterosis was estimated for eight quantitative traits in top-cross hybrids of three diverse cytoplasmic male sterile (CMS) sources of sunflower viz., Helianthus petiolaris (CMS-PET1), Helianthus petiolaris ssp. fallax (CMS-PEF1) and Helianthus annuus ssp. lenticularis (CMS-ANL2) maintained under different nuclear backgrounds. The top-cross hybrids were derived by crossing the above three CMS sources with 12 male parents in a line x tester design. Significant heterosis over two standard checks in the desirable direction was observed for all traits. All three sources under study advanced the maturity in most of the hybrids. CMS-PET1 was found to be the best compared with the other sources as far as oil content was concerned. Mean performance of the hybrids for achene yield and other economically important characteristics indicated that the hybrids derived in the cytoplasmic background of CMSANL2 were the best followed by CMS-PET1 and CMS-PEF1 suggesting that CMS diversification in heterosis breeding programs would be rewarding in sunflower.
