 Abstract: Sunflower is the most important oil crop in Romania, and is cultivated on approximately one million hectares in every year. In this paper we present data \regarding behavior of two sunflower hybrids in Clearield Plus system, HS9233CLP and HS2312CLP, two sunflower hybrids in Express Sun system FD15E27 and HS2309E, two sunflower hybrids in conventional system HS1122 and HS2372, created at NARDI Fundulea. These six sunflower hybrids were cultivated in year 2024 in ten locations in the test network a State Institute for Variety Testing and Registration. The lowest seed yield was registered by sunflower hybrid HS9233CLP with 1082 kg/ha, in the south of Romania, in location Rosiorii de Vede, county Teleorman. The higher seed yield was registered by sunflower hybrid HS2372 with 3703 kg/ha, in the south-east of Romania, in location Mircea Voda, county Braila.
