“…There are also statistically highly significant differences between the sunflower genotypes relative to their head diameters (Ćirić et al, 2013;Babec et al, 2020;Dar et al, 2021). Variations in the sunflower head diameter largely depend on the photosynthetic activity, which depends on the composition of plants per unit area (Saleem et al, 2019). Ebrahimian et al (2019) state that seasons do not exert a significant impact on the seed yield and 1000-seed weight of sunflowers, which is at variance with the findings of this research.…”

Summary As plant breeding is a very complex and sophisticated process, it is of paramount importance to understand the nature and magnitude of interdependence between specific plant features. Using PCA and correlation analysis, this study examined the variability in features of two types of inbred sunflower lines and determined its connection with their seed yields. The experiment was conducted as a randomized complete block design with four replications in Rimski Šančevi (the experimental field of the Institute of Field and Vegetable Crops in Novi Sad) in 2018 and 2019. It examined a total of nine inbred sunflower lines created at the Institute of Field and Vegetable Crops in Novi Sad. The results obtained suggest a high degree of variability in the examined traits of inbred sunflower lines considered, whereas the significance indicated by the F test was confirmed by the Duncan test performed. A high degree of variability was also found between the different types of inbred lines considered. A positive correlation was found between all four traits observed in the inbred sunflower lines considered, with different levels of significance. A statistically significant positive increase in the head diameter was followed by an increase in the weight of 1000 seeds, which generated a higher seed yield per unit area. According to the arrangement of different types of inbred lines considered on the PCA biplot, it can be concluded that the linoleic inbred lines G7L and G8L had the highest average values of the 1000-seed weight, head diameter and seed yield throughout the course of both experimental years. The useful data obtained by PCA analysis can facilitate successful selection programs aimed at developing sunflower genotypes that possess high stability and seed yields.

“…Similarly, the efficiency of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium reduces due to deficiency of sulphur and ultimately reduced crop yield [30,31], which also indicates that healthy crop growth and development is impossible without the application of sulphur. Some researchers found that the application of sulphur promotes the growth, yield attributes, and oil contents of sunflower crop [32][33][34][35]. Moreover, several studies have reported that sulphur application enhances the availability of other plant essential nutrients, i.e., nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium to sunflower plants and uptake of these nutrients by sunflower crop [36,37].…”

Assessing the Potential of Polymer Coated Urea and Sulphur Fertilization on Growth, Physiology, Yield, Oil Contents and Nitrogen Use Efficiency of Sunflower Crop under Arid Environment

Nitrogen and sulphur are fundamental macronutrients for the production of sunflower crop. Nitrogen is required consistently in larger amounts for sunflower production while common urea has more losses due to high solubility. On the other hand, sulphur application increases oil contents and availability of other essential nutrients (N, P, and K). Therefore, combined application of polymer coated urea with sulphur fertilization might be a promising option which can increase achene yield, oil contents, and nitrogen use efficiency (NUE). However, no particular studies have been conducted to explore the main and interactive effects of polymer coated urea and sulphur fertilization on growth, physiology, yield, oil contents, and NUE under arid field conditions. Hence, the current field experiment consisted of two nitrogen fertilizers [polymer coated urea (PCU) and common urea (CU)] and three sulphur fertilizer rates [S0 (0), S1 (30) and S2 (60) kg ha−1)] in a split-plot arrangement under randomized complete block design (RCBD) during spring season of 2019 and 2020. Experimental results revealed that growth, physiology, yield, oil contents, and NUE of sunflower crop were significantly improved with the application of nitrogen fertilizers, sulphur fertilizer rates, and their interaction. Meanwhile, NUE, achene yield and oil contents were increased by 16.0–17.2%, 16.5–17.0%, and 2.96–3.19% respectively with the application of PCU compared with CU. Furthermore, NUE, achene yield and oil contents were also increased by 12.8–13.3%, 13.1–13.7%, and 10.7–10.9%, respectively, due to sulphur fertilization of 60 kg ha−1compared with no sulphur application. Similarly, NUE, achene yield, and oil contents were increased by 32.9–39.5%, 31.7–32.6%, and 13.1–13.2% respectively with the application of PCU in combination with sulphur fertilization of 60 kg ha−1compared with CU × S0, which also evidenced a clear and positive interaction between nitrogen and sulphur. Conclusively, PCU (130 kg ha−1) in combination with sulphur fertilization of 60 kg ha−1 is promising option for obtaining higher achene yield, oil contents, and NUE for sunflower crop under arid environment, and hence, it might be a good agronomic adaptation strategy for sustainable production of sunflower.

Groundnut is a leguminous and oilseed crop cultivated throughout the globe due to its excellent nutritional values. Area under groundnut cultivation increased over time though productivity became stagnant and not given the desirable value. Key cause associated with this problem is indiscriminate use of chemical fertilizer which continuously deteriorates soil health and quality. Cultivation through organic inputs is a smatter way to improve soil health but due to population explosion it does not seems a feasible option for developing countries like India. Comprehensive approach should be taken to meet the both end and find a middle way for sustainable production of ground nut over a prolonged period of time. Integrated nutrient management (INM) acts as a bridge between two between two extreme concepts i.e. chemical fertilization and organic farming. INM is getting popular now a days for higher sustainable yield in minimal fertilization. Impact of different fertilizers, organics and integrated approach has been discussed on yield, growth and oil content of ground in this present article through a collective manner.
