INTRODUCTION
Objectives and Procedures
Sunflower performance tests were conducted in 2010 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 tests, and hybrids
were not grown uniformly at all locations.
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
Test locations in 2010 were Thomas County, irrigated and times and placing individual varieties or treatments as

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.

Excerpts from the
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 for sale.
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 Station and Cooperative Extension Service Report of
