The study was carried out to estimate the significance of sun flower seeds germination at different temperature and water treatment. Germination % seedling growth, moisture content was studied. Present studies suggest that 250C – 350C temperature and alternate day water treatment results better germination percentage and healthy seedling. Maximum root / shoot length and moisture percentage were also good at 250C. Maximum oil content was found in those seeds which germinate at high temperature. It is concluded that for Sun flowers seeds better grow at 250C – 350C and alternate day water treatment results in better yield.
