Abstract :The present study was conducted to determine the yield and quality characteristics of oil sunflower genotypes as candidates for registration under Konya and Karaman conditions, in 4 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, the diameter of the tray, the thousand seed weight, seed moisture, seed yield, oil content, and oil yield were found to be statistically significant. The number of flowering days of the genotypes was found to be 64.5-60.8 days insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(H412; P63LLE113);, the number of days to physiological maturity was 113.9-110.3 days insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(H412; P63LLE113);, plant height 169.0-164.6 cm insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(M94S35; P63LE113);, head diameter 20.9-17.3 cm insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(H412; P63LLE113);, thousand-seed weight 60.3-47.4 g insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(H408; P64LE119);, seed moisture 7.8-5.9 % insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(H408; P63LE113);, seed yield 43.6-43.2 t ha-1 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(H412; P64LE119);, oil content 44.2-41.8 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(H412; M94S35);, and oil yield 19.2-17.0 t ha-1 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(H412; P63LE113);. The study showed that high yields could be achieved by using newly-developed hybrid sunflower genotypes in the conditions in the region. According to the averages of the location, it can be argued that the H412 hybrid that has high seed and oil yield can be successfully grown in regional conditions.
