Large Sunflower Seed Breeding Gains Manitoba Yield
Dr. E D Putt reports rising demand for large sunflower seed for confectionery in Manitoba expanding from 5 000 acres in 1955 to 16 000 in 1963 with 23 percent of the 1964 Manitoba acreage. Trials at Morden seek bigger seed via Mennonite variety and recurrent selection, with strains showing higher seed size over No 18 screens and improved per acre yields.

Commander sunflower variety shows higher yield and uniformity
In Prairie Province trials from 1961 to 1963 Commander yielded 719 lb per acre over the No 18 screen versus 480 lb for the unselected Mennonite check and showed more uniform seed size. Rust susceptibility remains a major drawback. backcross work at Morden aims to transfer rust resistance while preserving large seed size. Spacing effects: six inch row spacing raised large seed yield to 1071 lb over No 418, or 54 percent of total. 18 inch spacing produced 1549 lb over No 18, 85 percent of total.
