INTRODUCTION
Objectives and Procedures
Sunflower performance tests were conducted in 2014 by
the Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station to provide
farmers, extension workers, and private industry with
unbiased agronomic information on many of the
sunflower hybrids marketed in the state. Tests were
financed in part by entry fees from private companies.
Companies known to be developing and marketing
sunflowers were invited to participate and enter hybrids
on a voluntary, fee-entry basis. As a result, not all hybrids
grown in the state were included in the tests, and hybrids
were not grown uniformly at all locations.
Test locations in 2014 were Thomas County-irrigated
and fallow; Greely County-irrigated; Ellis Countydryland; and Labette and Reno Counties-dryland.
Oilseed entries were grown at all locations.
Confectionary entries were evaluated in Thomas
County-irrigated and fallow; Greeley Countyirrigated; and Labette County-dryland. Oilseed and
confectionary entries were planted separately in all tests.
Entries were planted in four-row, replicated plots at all
locations. To ensure uniform and adequate stands, all
tests except those in Thomas County were planted at
a high seeding rate and were hand-thinned after
emergence to desired stands. Tests in Thomas
County were planted to stand with a modified Monosem
Vacuum Planter.
Environmental factors affecting test results and cultural
practices are presented for each individual test site. The
dryland oilseed test at Ellis County and both oilseed and
confectionary tests at Labette County were abandoned
because of adverse conditions during the growing
season. Test results for 2014 and period-of-years
average data are included in Tables 1 through 6.
Entrants and entries in 2014 tests are listed in Table 7.
Data Interpretation
Yields are reported as pounds of seed per acre adjusted to
10% moisture content.
Days to half bloom is the number of days from date of
planting to the date when 50% of plants are in bloom.
Lodging percentage is based on counts of lodged and
total plants in harvested areas at all locations.
Oil percentage was obtained from samples submitted
under code number to the Kansas Grain Inspection
Service for analysis and is reported on a 10% moisture
basis. Samples for all tests were derived by compositing
replications by entry for each location and subsampling.
Oil yields are reported as net pounds of oil per acre.
Seed-size percentage analysis for confectionary-type
entries was performed at the Northwest ResearchExtension Center on cleaned samples submitted from
each of the tests. Separation by seed size was made by
screening a weighed sample through a series of six sieves
(22/64, 21/64, 20/64, 19/64, 18/64, and 16/64-round
holes) secured on a Ro-Tap mechanical shaker.
Statistical analysis: Conducting perfect tests is virtually
impossible because soil fertility, moisture, and other
environmental factors vary. Therefore, small differences
in results might have no real meaning. To help interpret
data, we applied a statistical technique, analysis of
variance, whenever possible. Such analysis requires
repeating whole sets of varieties or treatments several
times and placing individual varieties or treatments as
they would be placed by chance alone. Results of the
analyses are reported in terms of least significant
differences (LSD). If two means differ by more than the
LSD (.05), such a difference would be due to chance
variation only 5% of the time. So, it's 95% probable that
the difference was due to treatment. If means do not
differ by as much as the LSD, little confidence can be
placed in the importance of varietal or treatment
differences. The coefficient of variability (CV) represents
an estimate of the precision of replicated yield trials.
Trials with a CV from 10% to 15% are usually
acceptable for performance comparisons. Trials with a
CV greater than 15% provide only a rough guide to
hybrid performance.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Cooperation of research center personnel who performed
many of the field operations is sincerely appreciated.
Vicki Brown, secretary, and Jane Lingenfelser, Kansas
Crop Performance Tests coordinator, assisted in
preparing this report, and temporary workers Michael
Schiferl and Danielle Foster helped with seed
counting, plot thinning, and maintenance. Mary
Knapp at the Weather Data Library provided
climatological data.
