Abstract
A field experiment was conducted during the winter season of 1991-92 a nd 1992-93 to study the response of sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) t o crop geometry and N and P application on rice-fallow gangetic alluvi al soil. Crop geometry of 45 cm x 20 cm improved the yield attributes and significantly increased the seed yield compared with 30 cm x 30 cm and 60 cm x 15 cm. Appreciable improvement in yield attributes and si gnificant increase in yield was obtained with increase in level of N a nd P2O5 up to 80 and 60 kg/ha respectively.
