The approximate composition of moisture-free ACA 884 and
P20 ground sunflower seeds used in the experiments is shown in
Table 1. Both samples had a similar moisture content (p = 0.813).
Oil content was statistically different (p 6 0.01) between the hybrids,
although the values obtained were within the range reported
for these hybrids in Argentina (Aguirrezábal and Pereyra, 1998).
Reports indicated that black-hull hybrids (P20) usually produce
seeds with a higher oil content than striped-hull hybrids (ACA
884)
