Sunflower is one of the most important oilseeds worldwide and in Mexico only 7.5% of the volume consumed is produced, so it is necessary to look for alternatives to improve its production. The supply of nutrients such as nanoparticles could make assimilation in the plant more efficient and improve agricultural yield. The objective of the present study was to determine the effect of the joint foliar application of Zn+Fe+Cu nanoparticles at different doses and number of applications on sunflower production. On February 15, 2023, sunflower was sowing in soil and under irrigation conditions. The treatments consisted of the joint application of Zn+Fe+Cu nanoparticles each at doses of 10 and 20 mg kg-1 in two, four and six foliar applications, which generated six treatments plus the control without application. It was found that, except for the applications of nanoparticles at 10 mg kg-1 in two applications, with all other treatments, increased sunflower grain production, stem diameter, head area, head weight, harvest index and total biomass. The dose of 20 mg kg-1 was more effective in improving grain yield. The application of 20 mg kg-1 in four applications generated the highest yield (3.61 t ha-1) which represented a 35% increase compared to the control. Therefore, it is the most appropriate treatment to improve sunflower production.
