Abstract
Downy mildew ( Plasmopera halstedii (Farl) Barl. et de Toni) rust ( Puccinia helianthi Schw.) verticillium wilt ( Verticillium albo‐atrum Reinke and Berth) and head rot ( Rhizopus sp.) significantly influenced the achene quality of sunflower ( Helianthus annuus L.). Achenes harvested from rusted plants and plants systemically infected with downy mildew were significantly smaller, lighter, higher in hull percentage, and lower in oil content than achenes harvested from healthy plants. Achenes from plants affected with verticillium wilt were slightly smaller, significantly lighter, lower in oil content, but similar in hull percentage to achenes harvested from healthy plants. Although achenes from plants with head rot were similar in size to achenes harvested from healthy plants, they were significantly lighter, lower in oil, and higher in hull percentage. The relative percentages of the four major fatty acids in the oil (palmitic, stearic, oleic, and linoleic) were not altered sufficiently by any of the diseases studied to be an influence on oil quality.
