  • Does no fertilizer increase oleic acid in sunflower seeds?
  • Our experiment showed that the greatest amounts of oleic acid and linoleic acid were found under CK treatment (i.e., no N fertilizer application); therefore, no fertilizer or low N fertilizer application rates would help increase the unsaturated fatty acid content of oil from sunflower seeds.
  • Does nitrogen fertilizer affect CFC of oil from sunflower seeds?
  • Nitrogen fertilizer applications affected the CFC of oil from sunflower seeds ( Fig. 1 ).There was no significant difference in CFC between T1 (basic N fertilizer (68 kg ha ¨C1, 0 kg ha ¨C1) with no topdressing) and CK.
  • Does nitrogen fertilizer affect linoleic acid content of oil from sunflower seeds?
  • Nitrogen fertilizer applications affected linoleic acid content of oil from sunflower seeds ( Fig. 3 ). Although the linoleic acid content was 2.18% higher in CK than T1 in 2013 and 2.15% higher in T1 than CK in the 2013¨C2014 data combined, these differences were not statistically significant.
  • Does nitrogen fertilizer affect palmitic acid content of oil from sunflower seeds?
  • Nitrogen fertilizer applications affected palmitic acid content of oil from sunflower seeds ( Fig. 5 ).The palmitic acid content was significantly higher in CK than in T1 in 2013 and in the combined data from 2013 to 2014 (12.44 and 7.57% higher, respectively).
