Abstract: A field experiment was conducted during rabi season of 2009-10 at oilseeds research station, Latur to study the effect of nutrient management on growth and yield of hybrid sunflower (LSFH-35)" The investigation was carried out in RBD design with three replication and nine no. of treatments (i.e., NPK and micronutrient involving 9 treatment combinations were tested) such as T₁ = 100% NP, T₂ - 50% RDF, T₃ - 100% RDF, T₄ - 150% RDF, T₅ - RDF + Sulphur, T₆-RDF + Sulphur + Boron, T₇–RDF + Sulphur + Boron + Zinc, T₈- RDF + Sulphur + Zinc and T₉ - Control. The result of experiment revealed that among the treatments, application of 150% RDF (T₄) was recorded significantly higher yield attributes and yield over control (T₉), 50% RDF (T₂), 100% NP (T₁) and T3 - 100% RDF (T₃) whereas, it was at par with the application of RDF + Sulphur + Boron + Zinc (T₇), RDF + Sulphur + Boron (T₆), RDF + Sulphur + Zinc (T₈) and RDF + Sulphur (T₅).
