This study was carried out to determine the production possibilities of some sunflower cultivars under irrigated conditions in Diyarbakir. The cultivars Sanay, P-4223, Alhasa, Pactol, Armada, Sirena, C-70165, Tunca, Isera, Tarsan-1018, and Tr-3080 were tested in the experiment. Important characteristics such as plant height, head diameter, 1000-seed weight, seed yield, oil content and oil yield were investigated. Cultivar adaptation is important for regions. No problems regarding the need of the growth and development of the sunflower cultivars in this region were encountered. The growing season period at the experimental site was favourable for all cultivars. According to the results of the current study, it can be concluded that Pioneer-4223, Pactol, Isera, C-70165, Tarsan, and Armada, with their high seed and oil yields and good values of the other important characters, can be suggested as the best cultivars for the irrigated conditions of Diyarbakir. However, we see a need for conducting additional cultivar performance studies that would include the recently developed sunflower cultivars.
