EVALUATION OF YIELD AND QUALITY CHARACTERISTICS OF OIL SUNFLOWER (Helianthus annuus L.) VARIETIES CULTIVATED IN SEMIARID IRRIGATED CONDITIONS IN THE NORTHEAST OF TURKEY

Abstract

Sunflower is an oil plant grown in many parts of the world, capable of growing in many different climatic conditions. It is of great importance to carry out studies on the adaptation of new varieties and to determine the varieties suitable for the ecology of the region in areas where sunflower cultivation is intense. This study was carried out to determine some sunflower cultivars' yield and quality characteristics (SANBROMR, BOSFORA, SYBARBATİ, ROSETTA, LG5485, P64LL62, SYGIBRALTAR, P64LC108 P64LE119, P64LP130, P63LE113, 11TR077, ESNIEGARA, ADELYA, and DERAY) in 2020-2021 Bayburt conditions. It has been determined that there are significant differences between the cultivars in terms of the parameters examined. The highest average seed yield (4194.2 kg ha-1) and average linoleic acid content (65.09%) were obtained from the BOSFORA variety, the highest average oil content (48.78%) and average oil yield (186.02 kg ha-1) were obtained from ESNİEGARA variety, and the highest average oleic acid content (41.78%) was obtained from 11TR077 variety. The results obtained from the research emphasize the importance of varieties in sunflower plants. They show that BOSFORA and ESNIEGARA varieties come to the fore regarding yield and quality elements in ecologies with a semi-arid climate.
