Introduction to Sunflowers in Zhalantun

The planting area of sunflowers has gradually expanded in Zhalantun City and surrounding areas, bringing significant economic benefits to farmers every year, and has become the main growth point and pillar industry of the local economy. Firstly, it is because the local soil environment and climate conditions are suitable for the growth of sunflowers, mainly manifested as large differences in accumulated temperature changes in various mountainous areas, complex and diverse terrain conditions such as slopes, poverty, and rocky hills, uneven soil fertility, insufficient precipitation and poor irrigation conditions, and large temperature differences between day and night. Sunflowers have become one of the main crops in the local area due to their strong adaptability, low soil requirements, resistance to barrenness, drought, low temperature, and frost, ease of cultivation and management, and high yield. With the rise and development of sunflower oil pressing and frying industries both domestically and internationally, Hulunbuir City has become an important raw material base for the sunflower industry, with broad development prospects. However, in some regions, farmers do not have a good grasp of various aspects of sunflower cultivation techniques, resulting in a phenomenon of widespread planting but low yields, relying on the weather for food, which affects the local benefits of this crop. The technical personnel of the Agricultural Technology Promotion Center have accumulated rich and practical planting experience through years of extensive planting and promotion of multiple varieties and locations of sunflowers. They have summarized a set of sunflower cultivation techniques suitable for local conditions, aiming to guide sunflower production and contribute to the development of the sunflower industry and agriculture in Hulunbuir City
