Field experiment conducted to find out the effect of soil applied boron on the yield attributes, yield and economics ofsunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) at OUAT, Bhubaneswar revealed that boron @ 1.5 kg/ha recorded highest yield attributing characters such as head diameter (18.6 cm), total number of seeds/capitulam (830), seed (2.10 t/ha), stover (5.28 t/ha) and oil yield (743.6 kg/ha) over B applied @ 1kg/ha. Among the hybrids tested, the productivity was in the descending order of KBSH-44 < KBSH-53 <RSFH-1887 < LSFH-171. However, oil yield (764.9 kg/ha) was highest with KBSH-53 followed by RSFH-1887 (715.1 kg/ha). Among the hybrids, KBSH-44 recorded highest B:C ratio of 1.94 and lowest (1.67) was with LSFH-171. In case of boron levels, highest B: C ratio was recorded due to application of Boron @1.5 kg/ha.
