Trials were carried out in two years (1992 and 1993) and two different locations in the centre of Italy (Pisa and Grosseto) and the main objective was to evaluate the influence of four different environmental conditions (Pisa, 1992; Grosseto, 1992; Pisa, 1993 and Grosseto, 1993) and the effects of two different water availabilities (without and with irrigation) on six sunflower hybrids: Ares, Cisa, Granada and Oleica, with high oleic content and Gloriasol and Select, conventional hybrids (high linoleic), used as controls. The experimental scheme adopted was a split-block experimental scheme with 5 replications. The main yield characteristics, seed and oil yield, mechanical hull extraction and oil fatty acid profile were analyzed.
