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.

2000 KANSAS PERFORMANCE TESTS WITH SUNFLOWER HYBRIDS
INTRODUCTION
DATA INTERPRETATION
TEST OBJECTIVES AND
PROCEDURES
Yields are reported as lbs seed/a adjusted
to 10% moisture content.
Sunflower performance tests were
conducted in 2000 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.
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 numbers 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 2000 included
Greeley, Harvey, Reno, Republic, and
Sumner Counties–dryland, continuous crop;
and Thomas County–irrigated and fallow
sites. Because of extremely dry conditions,
the test in Greeley County was abandoned.
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.
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
Environmental factors affecting test results
and cultural practices are discussed
individually for each of the test sites. Test
results for 2000, as well as period-of-years
average data, are included in Tables 1-10.
Entrants and entries in 2000 tests are listed at
the end of the report.

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.
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
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 Justin
Kniep, 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.

Range (lbs/a): 1452-1931
LSD (lbs/a): 182
CV (%): 8.9
GROWING CONDITIONS: Uniform stands
were established. Mean air temperatures
were near normal in May and below
average in June. Precipitation in June was
about 88% of normal. Despite 5 days of
temperatures above 100° in July, maximum
air temperatures averaged about 3° below
normal. No meaningful rainfall occurred
between July 28 and harvest. During this
time, temperatures equaled or exceeded
100° on 23 days, and the mean maximum
temperatures were 6.5 and 4.6 degrees
above normal for the months of August and
July, respectively. This late-season drought
stress reduced yields.
