Abstract
Sunflower is rapidly becoming an important oilseed crop in India with major area under rainfed conditions. Increasing emphasis is being laid to develàp genotypes resistant to intermittent moisture stress. This study reports results of a field screening at two growth stages of 24 sunflower genotypes for performance under imposed moisture stress. Late genotypes, on average, performed better than carly types. This was due to their intrinsicâlly higher recovery growth rates on alleviation of moisture stress. Pot culture experimenti on contrasting genotypes indicated that the rate of leaf area recovery on alleviation of stress formed an important parameter in determining the resistance to moisture stress. We dicuss the stratesies for improving sunflower productivity under rainfed conditions in peninsular India.
