A field experiment with varied plant densities and moisture stress periods was conducted with rainfed sunflower (MSFH-8) during kharif, 1992 and 1993. The results showed that moisture stress during flowering and seed formation was more harmful than during vegetative phase in influencing the groth and yield of sunflower. Among different plant densities, there was no variation in seed yield of sunflower withpopulation range from 56 to 111 thousand plants/ ha in rainfed Alfisols. Thinning of plant density from 111 thousand to 28 thousand during moisture stress at vegetative and flowering reduced the seed yield as growth and uptake of nutrients. Hence, 56 thousand plants/ha at sowing is advantageous to get stable yields in rainfed environment. Altering plant densities during dry spells had no advantage as mid- season correction in sunflower.
