  • What is the difference between oil and confectionary sunflowers?
  • Oil seed varieties are generally planted at higher populations than confectionary varieties. Oil-type sunflower populations range from 20,000 to 22,000 plants per acre. Sunflowers need to be placed in moisture but not deeper than three inches about 7.6 cm. The ideal seeding 3.8 to 5 cm deep.
  • What is a sunflower plant?
  • The sunflower (Helianthus annuus) is a living annual plant belonging in the Asteraceae family with a large flower head. The plant is native primarily to North and South America, and some species are cultivated as ornamentals for their spectacular size and flower heads and for their edible seed. It was introduced in Uganda in 1920’s
  • What are the optimum soil classifications for sunflowers?
  • The optimum soil classifications for sunflowers are loam, silty loam and silty clay loam soils. Sunflower production performance on reduced agricultural capacity soils such as those affected by salinity, drought or wetness is not ideal. Having a proper crop rotational sequence is important with all crops, including sunflowers.
  • What is the best soil for sunflowers?
  • Sunflowers grow best on well drained, high water-holding capacity soils with a nearly neutral pH 6.5-7.5. The optimum soil classifications for sunflowers are loam, silty loam and silty clay loam soils. Sunflower production performance on reduced agricultural capacity soils such as those affected by salinity, drought or wetness is not ideal.
