Sunflower

CSU’s Crops Testing personnel assists Colorado sunflower producers to make the best possible hybrid sunflower seed selection by providing unbiased and reliable yield trial results from oil and confection sunflower performance trials. Variable climatic conditions, innovations from biotechnology, acquisitions and mergers of seed companies, and rapid evolution of new hybrid lines means that unbiased crop performance information is increasingly important to Colorado sunflower producers. Our sunflower performance trials receive funding support from the Colorado Sunflower Administrative Committee.
