Sunflower hybrid SF-177 was planted on three sowing methods i.e. Ridge, Furrow and Flat land. The experiment was laid out in RCB design having four replications. Results indicated that sowing methods showed no significant effect on the emergence/M2, days to maturity and plant height. Head diameter, thousand grains weight, grain yield and oil yield kg/ha were significantly affected by different sowing methods. Maximum of 18.67 cm head diameter 68.43 g thousand grain weight, 2229.74 kg/ha grain yield and 931.34 kg/ha oil yield were obtained from ridge sown crop while furrow method had the lowest values for these variables.
