Land Preparation
Sunflower requires well pulverized and weed free land. The first ploughing should be done by the mould board plough and subsequently 1-2 ploughings could be done by local plough followed by planking. When the plants attain knee high stage earthing should be done along the rows. This provides safe guard against lodging which is likely to occur at heading sage if winds of high velocity blow.
