Abstract :This research was conducted to determine the yield and quality characteristics of oil sunflower genotypes as candidates for registration under Konya and Karaman conditions, in four replications according to the “Random Blocks Trial Design”. The differences between the cultivars used in both locations of the study in terms of the number of days to bloom, the number of days to physiological maturity, plant height, the diameter of the head, the thousand seed weight, seed moisture, seed yield, oil rate, and oil yield were found to be statistically significant. The number of flowering days of the genotypes was found to be 65.6-60.6 days insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(H194; P63MM54);, the number of days to physiological maturity was 116.9-109.0 days insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Tunca; P63MM54);, plant height 172.0-143.3 cm insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Tunca; H249);, head diameter 18.8-15.9 cm insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(H250; P63MM64);, thousand-seed weight 43.4-54.2 g insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(H250; Gibraltar);, hectoliter weight 32.3-30.3 kg insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(P63MM54; H194);, seed moisture 7.1-8.4 % insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(H250; P63MM54, Gibraltar);, seed yield 4.37-3.82 t ha-1 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(H194; H249);, oil rate 47.8-42.9 % insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(H250; H55);, and oil yield 2.04-1.64 t ha-1 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(H250; H249);. According to the averages of the locations, it can be argued that the H194, H250, H55, and H5 hybrids that have high seed and oil yield can be successfully grown in regional conditions.
