Sunflower is grown in India as an ornamental plant since ancient time. But as an oilseed crop, it was introduced in 1969 only. Commercial cultivation of this in India was started in 1972 in few hectares land in southern states. Because of the certain qualities, sunflower becomes popular even in northern states also. Economic Importance of Sunflower The favourable features for the phenomenal growth of sunflower in India are, wide adoptability to range of agro climatic conditions and soil types, photoperiod insensitivity overcoming seasonal variations, Short duration (70-100 days), high yield potential of seed and oil, high quality edible oil (high PUFA content), high seed multiplication ratio (>1:80), Easier and cheaper cultivation of the crop (low seed rate, no specialized operations, low water requirement), remunerative market price and non branched determinate plant type with single head. 1. Downy mildew in sunflower: Plasmopara halstedii Sunflower downy mildew was first described from the North-Eastern United States in the late 19th century on Eupatorium.

भारत में सूरजमुखी का एक सिंहावलोकन Sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) is one of the few crop species that originated in North America. It was probably first introduced to Europe through Spain, and spread through Europe as a curiosity until it reached Russia where it was readily adapted. The high-oil lines from Russia were reintroduced into the U.S. after World War II, which rekindled interest in the crop. Production of sunflower subsequently increased in the Great Plains of United States as marketers found new uses for the seeds as an oil crop, a birdseed crop, and as a human snack food. In India, sunflower as an oilseed crop introduced in 1969, prior to which it was used as an ornamental plant (Wikipedia). Six states with Karnataka in the lead are the major producers of sunflower in the country. Karnataka with a production of 3.04 lakh tonnes from an area of 7.94 lakh hectares followed by Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, Bihar, Orissa and Tamil Nadu are major sunflower producing states of India (Fig 1). Sunflower production follows a systemic weather risk as about 80 per cent of the area is under rain-fed production. In terms of productivity, Bihar leads with 1402 kg/ha followed by Tamil Nadu with 1328.7 kg, although both the states have less...

सूरजमुखी: सूखा प्रवण क्षेत्रों के लिए पसंद की वाणिज्यिक फसल   Sunflower is one of the important crops in India's oil seed production that has contributed to rapid growth in oilseed production during late eighties and early 1990s. Sunflower is the oil of preference among the consumers' world over due to its health appeal. Sunflower is also a crop of choice for farmers due to its wider adaptability, high yield potential, shorter duration and profitability. Sunflower also scores favourably against the traditional cultivated crops like rabi Jowar, Bajra, Castor and Pulses during the late Kharif/early rabi season due to following advantages. Short duration (80-115 days) Suitability to grow in rainfed conditions. The areas of Rayalseema, Marathwada and Karnataka are mainly rainfed and hence the drought tolerant capabilities of some hybirds like PAC-36 of Advanta India do provide the farmers in these areas with a better option. Ability to perform in diverse agro-climatic and soil conditions. The incidence of pests and diseases on Sunflower crop is also easily manageable with timely preventive and curative measures. The only major investment the farmer makes is the cost of hybrid seed. Sunflower, being a commercial crop, offers attractive price for the produce and the economics of the crop is highly profitable compared to other crops in similar maturity groups. The farmers...
