| Abstract: | Key findings • The more area of leaf removed, the greater the yield loss in sunflowers. • The greatest effect on yield was from total leaf defoliation at the start of flowering or the end of flowering, which reduced yield by 1.16 t/ha (78%) and 1.02 t/ha (66%) compared to the control. • Removing the top 10 leaves at the end of flowering had no effect on grain yield or any of the quality parameters measured. |
