Effect of Organic and Inorganic Fertilizers on Soil Properties, Growth Yield, and Physiochemical Properties of Sunflower Seeds and Oils

Sunflower is the most important source of edible oil and fourth-largest oilseed crop in world. The purpose this study was to investigate effect using two organic fertilizers from various sources (compost coupled with biofertilizer (CCB), filter mud cake (FMC)) comparing them conventional inorganic their on quality sunflower seeds, oil, soil properties. data showed that highest value dry weight, plant height, disk weight addition chlorophyll content, phenolic secondary metabolites measured after application fertilizer, while use fertilizer contributed a substantial increase production yield high stalk compared treatment. Oils produced (CCB FMC) gave higher blue color values than ones transparent treatments darkest oils. results for chemical composition seeds nonsignificant differences protein ash among all significant difference regard content recorded, which FMC recorded followed by compost finally came Organic are valuable material nutrients essential plants can be safely used soil, crops, environment.
