How to plant oil sunflower and planting time and method

Oil sunflower growth environment requirements

Sunflower prefers to grow in a cool environment and is relatively cold-resistant. Its seeds can germinate in a low temperature environment of 5-10 degrees. It usually grows better in high-altitude cold areas. When growing, high temperature environment should be avoided. Scattered light is sufficient. Its yield per mu can reach about 400 to 500 kilograms.

Sunflower planting time

Sunflowers are usually planted in spring and summer, specifically around May. The climate at that time is most suitable for growth, and the germination speed after planting is also the fastest. At normal times, there must be a suitable temperature environment and strong light exposure must be avoided.
