The study was undertaken to determine suitable levels of N, P and K fertilizers for harvesting the maximum economic returns of hybrid sunflower. Experiment comprised of three N levels (0, 110, and 130 kg ha-1), four P levels (0, 70, 90 and 110 kg ha-1) and four K levels (0, 70, 90 and 110 kg ha-1). Increasing levels of N, P and K levels increased yield and yield components but decreased the seed oil content. Although, the highest seed yield (1231.47 kg ha- 1) was recorded when the crop was fertilized at the rate of 130-90-90 kg NPK ha- 1 and highest net benefit (Rs. 10792.00) was obtained when N, P and K fertilizers were applied at the rate of 110-70-0 kg ha-1, respectively.
