Suncokret, helianthus annuus L.
Monograph on sunflower by the author's team led by prof. Ph.D. sc. Marijom Vratarić (2004) covers the entire cultivation, genetics, breeding and economic importance of this key oilseed.
The specialized monograph Sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.), published in 2004 by the Agricultural Institute Osijek—with renowned scientist Prof. Marija Vratarić, PhD, serving as the lead author and editor (alongside co-author Prof. Aleksa Pospišil, PhD, and other contributors)—represents the most comprehensive work on this oilseed crop in Croatian agricultural literature. The book is the result of years of scientific research and practical experience in sunflower breeding and cultivation within Croatia and the wider region. It provides a detailed analysis of the sunflower's biological and morphological characteristics, genetics and breeding methods, agronomic practices and cultivation technology, protection against diseases, pests, and weeds, as well as the nutritional and economic value of the seeds and oil. Special emphasis is placed on adapting cultivation to specific agro-ecological conditions and on the economic importance of sunflowers in the production of edible oils and animal feed. This publication serves as an indispensable reference and textbook for agronomists, agricultural producers, agronomy students, and all professionals involved in plant breeding and field crop production.
