The present study was conducted to characterize the effect of organic and inorganic fertilizer on the phytochemical constituents of sun flower. The phytochemical constituent such as chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, total chlorophyll and carotenoid content were analyzed. From the result it was observed that both the treatments had significantly improved the phytochemical constituents of sunflower. Among the treatments, organic fertilizer is found to be more efficient than inorganic fertilizer over control. The present work indicates towards the beneficial effect or organic and inorganic fertilizers for the improvement of sunflower.
