Abstract: The sunflower beside oil production can use as confectionery for human food. This type of sunflower hybrids apart from high yield should to have good quality; it means higher protein content and mass of 1000 seeds and lower oil content in the seed. According the two year field experiment with 3 confectionery hybrids we find out that highest seed yield had hybrid NS Gricko (4,30), and was at sowing dates between April 20 and May 10. Oil content were pretty low the lowest had hybrid NS Goliat (29,55%) and were regularly decreased with later sowing dates. In 2011 protein content and seed size were higher for 2.4% and 10.68 g than in 2012. NS Gricko had the highest protein content (15.92%) and hybrid NS Goliat (105.96 g) the highest seed size. Generally protein content was higher in the middle than in early sowing dates, while 1000 seed mass was higher at early or middle sowing dates than late.
