INTRODUCTION
Objectives and Procedures
Sunflower performance tests were conducted in 2013 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 2013 were Thomas County-irrigated and
fallow; Greely County-irrigated; Ellis County-dryland;
and Labette and Reno Counties-dryland. Oilseed entries
were grown at all locations. Confectionary entries were
evaluated in Thomas County-irrigated and fallow;
Greeley County-irrigated; 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
irrigated oilseed test at Greeley County were abandoned
for adverse conditions during the growing season. Test
results for 2013 and period-of-years average data are
included in Tables 1 through 6. Entrants and entries in
2013 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 ranging 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.

University Research Policy Agreement with Cooperating Seed Companies
Permission is hereby given to Kansas State University (KSU) to test varieties and/or hybrids designated on the attached entry forms
in the manner indicated in the test announcements. I certify that seed submitted for testing is a true sample of the seed being offered

I understand that all results from Kansas Crop Performance Tests belong to the University and the public and shall be controlled by
the University so as to produce the greatest benefit to the public. Performance data may be used in the following ways: 1) Tables may
be reproduced in their entirety provided the source is referenced and data are not manipulated or reinterpreted; 2) Advertising statements by an individual company about the performance of its entries may be made as long as they are accurate statements about the
data as published, with no reference to other companies’ names or cultivars. In both cases, the following must be included with the
reprint or ad citing the appropriate publication number and title: “See the official Kansas State University Agricultural Experiment
