RESUMO
ABSTRACT: Sunflower crops are grown in different regions worldwide. However, the stress caused by water excess in the soil impairs this crop growth and yield. The aim of the present study was to determine the response of sunflower plants to long periods of water excess during initial development stages. Water excess treatments were applied at the initial development of these plants at the sowing day, three days after sowing, at plant emergence, and at V2 and V4 stages. The treatments had different duration periods (0, 48, 96, 144, 192, and 240 hours) and were applied at three sowing dates. The current experiment is factorial and was carried out according to a completely random design. Two plant pots, treated under greenhouse conditions, made up the experimental units. Plant emergence, leaf area, plant height, shoot dry mass, maximum root length, main root length and root dry mass were herein assessed. Water excess is more harmful to sunflower plants during the sowing-emergence period. It substantially reduces emergence, plant density, shoot and root growth, even after 48-hour stress. Moreover, water excess leads to the formation of adventitious and secondary roots.
