Abstract

Current sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) production
worldwide occurs predominantly in mid-latitude
and humid continental climates [2], especially
the latter. The potential for using sunflower in
systems that produce more than one agronomic
crop per year (double or multiple cropping) is generally
limited to warm areas with long growing
seasons, such as the southern United States. This
climatic area corresponds to the humid subtropic
climate zone which also occurs in significant continental
areas of eastern south-central South
America (Paraguay, Uruguay, and parts of Brazil
and Argentina), southern China, and the eastern
coastal areas of Australia.
