Experiment was conducted at ARS, Gangavati Karnataka to know the feasibility of sunflower production and its profitability in saline soils by adoption of different management practices. Significantly higher sunflower yield was recorded by soaking seeds with CaCl2@1% then sowing at half way on the ridge with application of FYM @ 5 t /ha. It also recorded higher head diameter, filling percentage, 100 seed weight. Whereas seeds soaked either with CaCl2 @ 1% was found effective over dry seeding or hardening in water. Residual soil chemical properties including soil pH, EC, OC, N, P2O5, K2O and Ca showedthat these were no much influence of method of sowing, FYM application and seed treatment.
