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.

1998 KANSAS PERFORMANCE TESTS WITH SUNFLOWER HYBRIDS
INTRODUCTION
Days to half bloom is number of
days from date of planting to date when 50%
of plants were in bloom.
TEST OBJECTIVES AND PROCEDURES
Sunflower performance tests were
conducted in 1998 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.
Lodging percent is based on counts
of lodged and total plants in harvested areas
at all locations.
Five test locations in 1998 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.
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.
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.
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
Environmental factors affecting test
results and cultural practices are discussed
individually for each of the test sites. Test
results for 1998, 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.

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. Technician John Jones aided in planting and harvesting the plots; Vicki
Struckmeyer, secretary, assisted in preparing this report; and temporary workers Joel 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.
