Field experiment was conducted to study the genetics of the major agronomic traits in 20 Sunflower hybrids. Results showed that direct selection can be carried out at early generation for traits with higher heritability such as maturity and kernel content. For grain weight per plant and grain yield per plot with lower heritability, indirect selection by correlations and or multi-site selection can be utilized. The genetic improvement of a trait depends on both the heritability and the variation of it.
