Five fertilizer levels (0-0-0, 50-50-0, 75-50-0, 100- 0-50 and 125-50-50 kg NPK per hectare) and two planting geometries (60 cm apart single rows and 90 cm part double row strips with 30 cm between lines of a trip) were tested for sunflower cultivar "SF-100" in a split plot design. The fertilizer levels affected the number of seeds per head, filled seeds per head and oil contents significantly while plan population and 1000 seed weight remained non-significant. Fertilizer rate of 100-50-50 kg NPK per hectare was better than other levels which produced maximum seed yield (2190 kg/ha) with higher oil contents (40.20%).
