dc.descriptionThe confectionery market, industry often sets minimum standards in contracts with growers for characters such as seed size and test weight for sunflowers. Crop management practices, including planting rate and resultant plant spacing within the row, are important factors in influencing seed size and test weight. Wide plant spacing are known to produce larger seeds, but many growers believe that by increasing plant spacing they sacrifice yield and test weight. This article reviews the performance of large-seeded sunflowers grown at three plant spacing at Fargo, North Dakota, in 1971 and 1972. Plant spacing of 6, 12 or 18 inches between plants within 36-inch rows had no significant effect on the yield of large-seeded sunflower varieties.
