Excerpts from the
UNIVERSITY RESEARCH POLICY AGREEMENT
WITH COOPERATING SEED COMPANIES*
Permission is hereby given to Kansas State University to test our varieties and/or hybrids designated
on the attached entry forms in the manner indicated on the test announcement. I understand that all results from
Kansas crop performance tests belong to the University and to the public and shall be controlled by the
University so as to produce the greatest benefit to the public. It is further agreed that the name of the University
shall not be used by the company in any commercial advertising either in regard to this agreement or any other
related matter.
*This agreement must be signed by an authorized individual before results involving the company's entries can
be published by the Experiment Station. Except for the limitation that the name "KANSAS STATE
UNIVERSITY" cannot be used in advertising (you may use something like "official state tests" or "state yield
trials"), this does not preclude the use of data for advertising, if done in a fair manner.

2001 KANSAS PERFORMANCE TESTS WITH SUNFLOWER HYBRIDS
INTRODUCTION
average data, are included in Tables 1-16.
Entrants and entries in 2001 tests are listed
at the end of the report.
TEST OBJECTIVES AND PROCEDURES
Sunflower performance tests were
conducted in 2001 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. So, not all
hybrids grown in the state were included in
tests, and hybrids were not grown uniformly
at all locations.
DATA INTERPRETATION
Yields are reported as lbs
adjusted to 10% moisture content.
seed/a
Days to half bloom is number of days
from date of planting to date when 50% of
plants were in bloom.
Lodging percent is based on counts of
lodged and total plants in harvested areas at
all locations.
Oil percent 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.
Seven test locations in 2001 included
Republic County and Greeley County–
dryland; Reno County, Harvey County and
Sumner County–dryland, continuous crop;
and Thomas County–irrigated and fallow
sites. Oilseed entries were grown at all
locations.
Confectionary
entries
were
included only in tests 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 were planted at a
high seeding rate and hand thinned after
emergence to desired stands.
Oil yields are reported as net lbs oil/a.
Seed size percent analysis for
confectionary-type entries was performed at
the Northwest Research-Extension 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.
Two additional tests are included in this
report. One was conducted by Rob Aiken at
Northern Sun Industries in Goodland,
Kansas. A NuSun hybrid test, sponsored by
The National Sunflower Association, was
located in Thomas County.
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
Environmental factors affecting test results
and cultural practices are discussed
individually for each of the test sites. Test
results for 2001, as well as period-of-years

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. CVs ranging from 10 to 15% are
usually
acceptable
for
performance
comparisons. CVs 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, assisted in preparing this report; and temporary workers
Samantha Wolf, Cade Moses, and Nadia Fercha helped with seed counting and plot thinning and
maintenance. Mary Knapp at the Weather Data Library provided climatological data, and Bob
Cochrane, agricultural technician, provided weather charts.

TEST YIELDS:
Avg. (lbs/a): (O) 1235,
Range (lbs/a): (O) 985-1459
LSD (lbs/a): (O) 226
CV (%): (O) 12.7
GROWING CONDITIONS: Stand establishment was good. Precipitation was below
normal in May, but above average in June.
Temperatures were above normal in July
and Aug., exceeding 100ºF on 19 days,
and rainfall was below normal. Some of the
highest temperatures coincided with halfbloom. Head moth infestation was heavy.
Lodging occurred early in Sept., due to
weak brace roots, black stem disease, and
stem weevil. Lodged plant yields were
included with standing plants; however,
lodged plants had significant seed loss.

NSI VARIETY TRIAL
FALLOW SUNFLOWER TESTS–
OILSEED AND CONFECTIONARY
POPULATIONS:
Oil (O) 18,000 seeds/a
Confectionary (C) 14,000 seeds/a
TEST YIELDS:
Avg. (lbs/a): (O) 1097, (C) 945
Range: (O) 684-1439, (C) 685-1056
LSD (lbs/a): (O) 316, (C) 355
CV (%): (O) 20, (C) 26
GROWING CONDITIONS: Good subsoil
moisture was present, but extensive tillage
resulted in dry, loose seedbed and shallow
plow pan. Timely rains resulted in good
stand establishment. Dry conditions limited
seed fill, despite a hard, late-season rain.
Severe head moth pressure existed
throughout the region.
LOCATION: Northern Sun Industries,
Sherman County
COOPERATOR: Rob Aiken, research
crop scientist
TEST SITE: Ulysses silt loam
Wheat 1999, fallow 2000
FERTILIZATION:

HARVEST DATE:

PEST CONTROL: Lorsban 15G at planting;
