A plant described by sun
Sunflowers origin is America. Ancient Mayas worshiped sunflower as a symbol of light and fertility and it vas introduced in Europe at the beginning of 16th century.
Today sunflower is produced as a very important plant for oil production, for forage and as a decoration for houses and gardens.
Sunflower seed contains about 38-45% oil, depending of hybrid, and is on top of the ladder for high quality oils. Sunflower feed is an excellent source of protein (around 24-44%) and if backed up with lysine it has the same biological value as soybean.
Areas in Europe under sunflower production are quite large and with tendencies to get even larger which gives this culture a bright future.
