3 Page 1 SASKATCHEWAN SUNFLOWER COMMITTEE CO-OPERATIVE TRIALS The Saskatchewan Sunflower Committee is organized under the authority of the Non-Profit Corporations Act of the Province of Saskatchewan. The Committee is voluntary and not organized for financial gain and declares no dividends. The Saskatchewan Sunflower Committee was formed in 1983 to test varieties that may be suitable for growing conditions in the Province. Official Saskatchewan Sunflower Committee Trials can be used for registration purposes. The Committee publishes an annual summary of test results. Varieties that are registered for production in Canada and that are tested in Saskatchewan Sunflower Committee Trials are entered in the Varieties of Grain Crops for Saskatchewan annual publication. The Committee conducted all tests with funds provided by testing fees paid by companies submitting entries. Sites at Scott, Melfort, Canora, Redvers and Outlook were part of the AgriFood Innovation Fund Spoke Program. All sites were arranged in randomized complete block designs. Oil content was done by Nuclear Magnetic Resonance on samples that were dried to less than 5% moisture. The Committee tests later maturing, tall stature hybrids (LMTS) as well as early maturing, shorter stature cultivars (EMSS). The LMTS check variety IS 6111 was included in the EMSS tests. Differences in required plant population, row spacing, time of harvest and zone of adaptation make it impractical to seek direct comparisons. The LMTS site at Outlook was lost. The site at Redvers was not used due to high c.v. Agriculture & Agri-Food Canada Research Centre, Saskatoon coordinated all tests. The Committee would like to thank Gillian Brown for statistical analyses.
