Abstract

This research was conducted to examine the response of sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) to varying intra-row spacing in the Sudan savannah zone of Nigeria. The trial was conducted in two different locations, Bagauda KUST research farm and BUPOLY Hadejia practical farm. Four varieties of sunflower (SSL803, SSL806, SSL807 and SSL809) were planted at varying intra-row spacing of 20cm, 30cm, 40cm, 50cm and 60cm. Split plot design was adopted for the research, with variety allocated to the main plot while intra-row spacing to sub plots, treatments was replicated three times. The result of the investigation shows no significance statistical difference in oil content between the varieties in both locations. The oil was extracted through ether extraction method and the percentage was calculated.
