INTRODUCTION
Objectives and Procedures
Sunflower performance tests were conducted in 2006 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.
The test locations in 2006 included Thomas County – on
fallow; Thomas and Greeley Counties – irrigated; and
Harvey County – dryland, continuous crop. Dryland tests
in Ellis and Greeley Counties were abandoned due to
severe weather conditions. Oilseed entries were grown at
all locations. Confectionary entries were evaluated in
Thomas and Greeley counties.
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 were planted to stand
with a modified Monosem Vacuum Planter.
Environmental factors affecting test results and cultural
practices are discussed individually for each of the test
sites. Test results for 2006, and period-of-years average
data, are included in Tables 1 through 7. Entrants and
entries in 2006 tests are listed in Table 8.
Data Interpretation
Yields are reported as lbs seed/acre adjusted to 10%
moisture content.
Days to half bloom is number of days from date of
planting to date when 50% of plants were 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 lbs oil/a.
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 may have no real meaning. To help interpret
data, we applied a statistical technique, analysis of
variance, wherever 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, then 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, Kraig Roozeboom, assistant
professor, and Jane Lingenfelser, coordinator – Kansas
Crop Performance Tests, assisted in preparing this report,
and temporary workers Trenton Powell and Val Jackson
helped with seed counting, plot thinning, and
maintenance. Mary Knapp at the Weather Data Library
provided climatological data, and James R. Cochrane,
Assistant Scientist, posted data to the Kansas Crop
Performance Test web site.

NORTHWEST KANSAS FALLOW OILSEED SUNFLOWER TESTS
Northwest Research-Extension Center, Colby; Patrick Evans, agronomist
Keith silt loam; Fallow in 2005; Target stand of 17,000 plants/acre
Planted on 6/5/2006; Harvested on 10/4/2006; 50 - 0 - 0 lb/a N, P, K
Very dry at planting time, with a heavy rain
three days after planting, which caused
crusting and reduced stands. The
remainder of the growing season had
normal temperatures and more than 9" of
rain June through September.

SOUTH CENTRAL KANSAS DRYLAND OILSEED SUNFLOWER TEST
Harvey County Experiment Field, Hesston; Mark Claassen, agronomist
Smolan silt loam; Wheat in 2005
40
80 - 0 - 0 lb/a N, P, K
Target stand of 22,000 plants/acre; 9.5 in. spacing
The months of July and August had a total of 31
days with temperatures of 95 degrees or higher,
and 13 days of temperatures of 100 to 108 F. July
was dryer than usual. Above-normal rainfall in
August, coupled with more moderate temperatures
during the second half of the month, was very
benefical. Head moth levels were very light.
Woolybear caterpillars caused notable leaf damage
but were controlled with insecticide. Head clipping
weevil resulted in minor yield loss. Stem borers and
stalk rot caused some lodging. Late-season lodging
was significant and caused yield loss as well as
variability in some entries.

Very dry at planting time, with a heavy rain
three days after planting, which caused
crusting and reduced stands. The
remainder of the growing season had
normal temperatures and over 9" of rain
June through September.

NORTHWEST KANSAS FALLOW CONFECTIONARY SUNFLOWER TESTS
Northwest Research-Extension Center, Colby; Patrick Evans, agronomist
Keith silt loam; Fallow in 2005; Target stand of 14,900 plants/acre
Planted on 6/5/2006; Harvested on 10/5/2006; 50 - 0 - 0 lb/a N, P, K
Very dry at planting time, with a heavy rain
three days after planting, which caused
crusting and reduced stands. The

Excerpts from the UNIVERSITY RESEARCH POLICY AGREEMENT
WITH COOPERATING SEED COMPANIES*
Permission is hereby given to Kansas State University 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 Progress 972 '2006 Kansas Performance Tests with Sunflower Hybrids', or the Kansas Crop
Performance Test website, http://kscroptests.agron.ksu.edu, for details. Endorsement or recommendation
by Kansas State University is not implied."
