Sunflower hybrids developed from two female and 35 male parental inbred lines were, together with parents, tested for leaf area index , dry matter yield, and oil content at Montpellier and Toulouse, France, in the years 1993 to 1994, both in rainfed and irrigated field trials. The trials were aimed at the development of drought resistant genotypes. In this, the most interesting genotypes were the two female parental lines, and the hybrids derived from Helianthus agrophyllus. We thus succeeded to introduce some drought tolerance into sunflower germplasm from the wild species.
