The objectives of the present study were to: 1) determine the yield performance and stability of ten local sunflower hybrids across five environments, and 2) select the best hybrid(s) for irrigated conditions in Sudan. In conclusion: Consistent high mean seed and oil yields demonstrated by the local sunflower hybrids SFH 310, SFH 313, and SFH 314 and their adaptability and stability make them suitable for cultivation over a wide range of environments. At the same time, the yield and stability of the introduced hybrid Hysun-33 improved only under optimal growing conditions. Also, based in the availability of parental lines (A, B and R-lines), the three local hybrids were released last June for commercial production under irrigated conditions in the central clay plains of Sudan. Therefore, local seed production will be a safeguard for sunflower production against foreign political constrains concerning seed importation.
