Abstract
In Mozambique, there exist large differences in soil and climatic conditions, but it is the particular farming system (a subsistence type) that princi pally justifies the use of varieties on which this program of sunflower genetic improvement focuses. The present the program involved the selection of a series of experimental populations with different characteristics. Comparative tests were performed at the experiment station of the Instituto Nacional de Investigação Agronómica (INIA) in Umbeluzi (Mozambique). The different susceptibilities to rust (Puccinia helianthi) and charcoal rot (Sclerotium bataticola), by which it is possible to distinguish the different synthetics, are discussed in relation to the different source material and to the possibilities of performing new cycles of recurrent selection.
Keywords: Mozambique, Puccinia helianthi, Sclerotium bataticola, sunflower, synthetic varieties
