Sunflower
Sunflower is an important edible oilseed crop known for its high-quality oil, rich in unsaturated fatty acids and vitamin E.
Owing to its wide adaptability and photo-insensitive nature, sunflower can be cultivated across diverse agro-climatic regions under irrigated and rainfed conditions.
The crop contributes to India’s edible oil production and supports crop diversification in cereal-based farming systems.
