Abstract: F3 generation of thirty-five progenies of sunflower were selected for the correlation study to assess the association among yield and its components. Observations were recorded on fourteen traits viz., days to first flowering, days to maturity, plant height, head diameter, powdery mildew Percentage Disease Index, 100 seed weight, volume weight, seed shape, seed colour, stripes on the margin, stripes between the margin, seed yield per plant, oil content and oil yield. Character association analysis revealed strong positive association of oil yield per plant with plant height, head diameter 100-seed weight, seed yield and oil content. Hence synchronized selection of these characters would contribute for the improvement of the oil yield per plant.
