New method determines
ATLANTA, Ga. There is
currently no standard accurate
method of determining the
developmental stage of a sun
flower plant.
A new staging method has
recently been developed at North
Dakota State University, , ac
cording to Albert Schneiter, NDSU
agronomist. Schneiter points out
that accurate determination otthe
growth stage of a plant is im
portant for proper pesticide and
herbicide application and for
determining yield losses due to
hail.
“We run into problems in telling
someone when to apply an in
secticide or ' a herbicide or
describing a certain stage of
growth,” he said. “More accuracy
is needed to avoid ineffective

application of .chemicals which
may even damage a plant when
applied at the wrong stage.”
Accurate staging is also im
portant to both insurance adjustors
and producers since the amount of
loss depends on the stage at whieh
the hailstorm occurred, and the
insurance companies pay ac
cordingly, says Schneiter.
The new staging method in
volves dividing sunflower plant
development into either vegetative
or reproductive stages. The
vegetative stage is determined by
counting the number of true leaves
on the plant four centimeters or
longer while the reproductive
stage by looking at the develop
ment of the flower.
“A plant could be a foot and a
half tall and have six leaves or 20

leaves,” Schneiter said. “The
vegetative stages could be quite
different though.”
He pointed out that a length
standard for the leaves had to be
set to avoid confusing situations in
which one person might count only
the big leaves while another would
count all of the small leaves
surrounding the bud.
"Currently there is much con
fusion as to what is meant by 50
percent bloom for example,”
Schneiter said. “One person might
describe SO percent bloom as when
the plants have half of their yellow
ray flowers showing while another 1
might describe it as when 50
percent of the area in the head has
flowered. Between the two there
may be a week or'lo days dif
ference. In the case of a hailstorm,
for example, the amount of in
surance paid would be quite 'dif
ferent.
The new staging method is
simple and more accurate than
current methods, commented
Schneiter. “People will try it and
hopefully they’ll use it.’ ’
Schneiter’s research was
sponsored by a grant from the
National Crop Insurance
Association.
