ABSTRACT:
This experiment was conducted at the station of agricultural research and natural resources, Khoy, Iran in 2007 and 2008 to evaluate the effect of temperature and photoperiod on the duration of development stages of sunflower. A randomized complete block design using a 8 x 3 factorial arrangement with four replications involving eight planting (29th April, 4th May, 14th May, 24th May, 1st June, 10th June, 19th June and 28th June) and three sunflower cultivars (‘Sor’, ‘Eroflor’, ‘Azargol’). From the results, all development stages, specially the generative phase were influenced by planting date. The duration of each development stage decreased with the delay in planting. The designed models indicated that minimum temperature and photoperiod were directly proportional to development rate (DR) the whole life cycle of different sunflower cultivars. DR decreased from emergency (E) to physiological maturity (PM) as day length increased. The relationship between DR and photoperiod could be used as a practical model for estimating E to PM duration of these sunflower cultivars.
