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.

1999 KANSAS PERFORMANCE TESTS WITH SUNFLOWER HYBRIDS
Days to half bloom is number of
days from date of planting to date when 50%
of plants were in bloom.
INTRODUCTION
TEST OBJECTIVES AND PROCEDURES
Lodging percent is based on
counts of lodged and total plants in
harvested areas at all locations.
Sunflower performance tests were
conducted in 1999 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.
Oil percent was obtained from
samples submitted under code number to
the Kansas State Grain Inspection Department 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 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.
Five test locations in 1999 included
Republic County and Greeley County–
dryland; Reno County–dryland, continuous
crop; and Thomas County–irrigated and
fallow sites. Oilseed entries were grown at
all locations. Confectionary entries were
included in all tests except Republic County.
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.
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
Environmental factors affecting test
results and cultural practices are discussed
individually for each of the test sites. Test
results for 1999, as well as period-of-years
average data, are included in Tables 1-11.
Entrants and entries in 1998 tests are listed
at the end of the report.
DATA INTERPRETATION
Yields are reported as lbs seed/a
adjusted to 10% moisture content.

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.
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
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, Shelby 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.
