The best time for sowing sunflowers in Zaid is the second fortnight of February. At this time, when sown, the crop ripens at the end of May and is ready by the first week of June. And in case of loss of seeds, sowing should be done at a depth of 4 to 5 cm behind the plow in the lines. Line to line distance should be kept 45 cm and plant to plant distance should be 15 to 20 cm.

Seed quantity:
Seed quantity varies, such as a package or common species require 12 to 15 kg seed per hectare and hybrid species need 5 to 6 kg seed per hectare if seed deposition quality is less than 70%.

Fertilizer application:
General fertilizers should be applied only on the basis of a soil test. However, 80 kg of nitrogen, 60 kg of phosphorus, and 40 kg of potash per hectare is sufficient.
