Abstract
Under rainfed conditions in Northern Mexico, the main cause of low yield in sunflower is drought. The objective of this work was to determine tlre water use and consumption patterns of 3 sunflower genotypes, evaluated in two sowing dates under irrigation-drought conditions. The mid and long season genotypes had more watcr consumption under drought, produced more dry matter, had a greater water use efficiency, better response to drought and more grain production than the short season control, which escaped drought.
Keywords: Sunflower, drought, water consumption patterns
