Abstract
Determine the stability of sunflower seeds yield, an experiment in a randomized complete block design with 4
replications of four research stations, including Isfahan, Birjand, Sari and Karaj. Analysis of the data showed that there is
considerable variation in terms of grain yield. The results showed that the coefficient of variation for grain yield Nkarmoni and
Brocar cultivars are biological stability and a high degree of flexibility. Terra, Vidoc and Alisson Cultivars were stable respectively,
according to the minimum variance Shukla, among varieties for grain yield. Based on the regression coefficient Fabiola and Arena
Cultivars were average yield stability and adaptation Suitable. According to the graph AMMI1 of the function and stability Nkarmoni
was higher than the other varieties. AMMI2 figures in the chart Euroflor, Alisson, Mas96a and Fabiola in Birjand place were
identified yield stable part numbers and locations. GGE biplot method on grain yield was studied areas were divided into mega-
environments, First mega- environments were included Isfahan and Sari places and second mega- environments were Birjand and
Karaj places in terms of yield, Isfahan, Karaj and Birjand were varieties best.

Introduction
The sunflower plant is originated in western North
America. It is thought to have been domesticated
around 1000 B.C. by Native Americans. Spanish
explorers brought the sunflower to Europe in 1510.
However, it was not expanded until the late 1800s,
when the flower was introduced in the Russian
Federation, which the sunflower became a food crop.
In 1860, Russian farmers made significant
improvements in the way that the sunflower was
cultivated. Then , they became the world’s largest
producer of sunflower seeds (FAO, 2011).
Sunflowers grow well in an expanded range of regions,
depending on the variety, can be grown in a wide
range of climatic conditions. Cultivation of sunflower
oil in strongly fluctuates. It is about 30-25 thousand
hectares of cultivated area currently produces about
30,000 tons of grain. About 70-50 thousand hectares
of cultivated were sunflower nuts in the country.
Average yield of irrigated were land under cultivation
of hybrid varieties of oil and 1 800 kg per hectare
yield in dry land (open pollinated varieties) 1 200 kg
ha (Khajehpour, 2007).
Schoeman to study the interaction of genotype ×
environment sustainability in the different methods
used sunflower and stated that AMMI model not only
introduces the stable genotypes, but cannot determine
the compatibility of data private.so the AMMI model
accurate estimate of the true performance potential of
varieties and genotypes are evaluated to provide
specific environments (Schoeman, 2003).
Albert to study the interaction of genotype and
environment sustainability analysis to compare the
various methods maize hybrids but the stability of
AMMI model was introduced in the end the best way
to analyze (Albert, 2004).
Shadpour in order to investigate the interaction of
genotype and environment to determine the
adaptability and stability of genotypes performance in
Rasht and Tirtash region Virginia tobacco in the field
of research , were cultured and studied In a
randomized complete block design with three
replications in two crop years (2008-2010). In this
study, the overall genotypes 3 were introduced based
on Tai and Eberhart and Russell method as superior
