Abstract: Sunflower is the most important edible oils crop on global scale and adoptable to a wide range of climatic condition. In Pakistan it is cultivated because of its wide range of adaptability twice in year (spring and autumn). In weather up to date the climate change that increase CO2 concentration and changing rain fall pattern. The regional and global climate is adversely affected by industrial ozone depletion, globalization and deforestation and increase in temperature. The rise in temperature and rain fall shift from winter to summer in Pakistan. In this regard the only solution is to change sowing time and develop temperature resistant genotypes to obtain maximum seed and oil yield from sunflower. It is concluded that cultivation of sunflower in autumn season in the month of July can give us maximum yield.
