The paper presents the results of studies of the effect of inorganic fertilizers on the structural indicators of Helianthus annuus crop yield in the western part of Azerbaijan. As a result of the studies carried out, it can be concluded that there was a positive effect when fertilizer application. So, there was an increase in the diameter of the basket by 0.8–2.3 cm, the number of achenes in the basket — 54.7–204.6 pcs, the mass of seeds in the basket — 5.5–24.1 g, and an increase in the mass of 1000 seeds — by 3.5–13.7 g in comparison with the non-fertilizer control. To obtain a high and high-quality sunflower seed yield and restore soil fertility on the irrigated chestnut soils of the Ganja-Gazakh zone, it is recommended that farms use inorganic fertilizers annually at the N120P120K120.
