Abstract

The experiment object were 154 sunflower hybrids developed by research institutes and international breeding companies and intended for growing in the agroecological conditions of Europe, the Americas, Australia, Asia, and Africa. The hybrids were tested for the following characters: seed yield, oil and protein concentration, 1000-seed mass, volume weight, husk percentage, and autogamous pollination. Statistical calculations included the cluster analysis with the Euclidean distance treated as a metric distance. The hybrids were uniformly distributed in all five clusters regarding seed yield, protein concentration, husk percentage, and autogamous pollination. Regarding oil concentration and volume weight, more than 98% of the tested hybrids were clustered in three distinct groups.

Keywords: Sunflower hybrids, seed yield, statistical analysis
