Sunflower

Format for Seed Registration Protocol

1. Crop Name - Sunflower
2. Season/region/time - Rainy, monsoon/ major production area of sunflower
3. Check variety        - Registered varieties
4. Plot size - 15 ft x 4 rows
5. Spacing - 2 ft x 9 in
6. Design - RCB design, replication 4-6 (depend on no of variety)
7. Fertilizer rate          
  Basal     - Compound    - 2 bags, Urea- 112 lb/ac, Potash- 56 Lb/ac, 
T-super- 56 Lb/ac

8.  Care & Management    
-    Deeply plough & harrowing
-    Thinning one plant 15 days after sowing
-    Cleaning weed when plants are young
-    If pest and disease infected, control with suitable pesticide in time.
-    At the budding time, …………. not for logging
-    Irrigate to field when water is needed at the 75 % budding and flowering time.
-    For reduce postharvest losses, harvest in time, systematic threshing and drying under the sun. 
9.    Recorded data  
50 % germination date
-    Shall be recorded the day of 50% germination among all plants at small plot.                                                                                                                                                                   Flowing date
-    Shall be recorded the first day of flowers are blooms at small plot.
50 % flowering date
-    Shall be recorded the day of 50 % flowering among all plants at small plot. 
Plant height (cm)
-    Shall be recorded from plant base to leaf tip for 10 sample plants that can represent the whole research field.
Numbers of fill grain per head
-    Shall be counted fill grain form the flower of 10 sample plants. 
Head diameter (inches)
-    Shall be measured the flower from 10 sample plants.
Yield from 10 plants (g)
-    Shall be measured seed weight from 10 sample plants.
Plot yield (g)
-    Shall be measured seed weight from the small plot. 
1000 grain weight (g)
-    Shall be measured 1000 grain weight from the yield of 10 sample plants.
Oil percent 
-    Shall be tested oil content percent at lab.
Harvesting date
-    Shall be harvested when receptacle is turn straw color.
10. Calculating yield
                          Yield from sample area (g) x 43560
Yield        =-----------------------------------------------------------------
                          Sample size x 1000 x 32
