【 摘 要 】

AbstractThis study aimed to determine the oil ratios and fatty acid compositions of sunflowers grown in the warm climate of the Çukurova region at different sowing dates. It was found that the crude fat ratios of standard, mid-oleic and high-oleic sunflower types were 42.57%, 39.35% and 39.07%, respectively. Crude oil ratios of high-oleic and mid-oleic sunflower types were significantly decreased (p<0.05) at SD4 (sowing date 4, May 30th). The oleic acid contents in standard, mid-oleic and high-oleic sunflower types were found to be 60.08%, 74.35% and 88.1%, respectively. The oleic acid ratios of standard sunflower types were determined to be significantly lower at SD1 (April 15th) (p<0.05). The results show that it is more appropriate to sow the sunflowers between SD1 and SD2 (15 April to 30 April) in terms of producing the required oil and oleic acid contents. Also, both oil ratios and fatty acid compositions can change according to the sowing dates.
