Ten (10) sunflower genotypes were evaluated in a triplicated randomized complete blocked design in field for plant height, stem diameter at base, internodal length, head diameter, number of whorls head . Path analysis showed that direct effects of plant height, head diameter, 100-achene weight and oil contents were positive while direct effects of stem diameter at base, internodal length, number of fertile whorls head -1 and protein contents were negative on achene weight head -1 . This shows that selection based on head diameter, 100-achene weight, plant height, internodal length and stem diameter at base will be more effective in improving yield.
