THE RESEARCHERS ARE REQUESTED TO PRESENT THEIR RESULTS AT THE ANNUAL NSA RESEARCH FORUM HELD IN JANUARY EVERY YEAR. UPON COMPLETION OF THEIR PROJECT, THE RESEARCHERS ARE REQUESTED TO PRESENT A FINAL REPORT TO THE NSA. UPON RECEIPT OF THE FINAL REPORT THE FINAL QUARTER INSTALLMENT OF THE FUNDS ARE PAID OUT. SCHEDULE I, PAGE 4, PART IV THE NATIONAL SUNFLOWER ASSOCIATION (NSA) PROVIDES GRANTS TO PUBLIC RESEARCHERS TO STIMULATE NEW OR ADDITIONAL WORK THAT MAY RESULT IN LOWER PRODUCTION COSTS, INCREASED QUALITY AND HIGHER YIELDS. THE LIST BELOW SPECIFIES 'AREAS OF INTEREST' OUTLINED BY THE NSA RESEARCH COMMITTEE. THIS IS NOT AN EXCLUSIVE LIST AND ALL PRODUCTION AREAS OF RESEARCH WILL BE CONSIDERED BY THE COMMITTEE. ALL APPLICATIONS WILL BE REVIEWED BY THE NSA RESEARCH COMMITTEE IN MID JANUARY AND THE NSA BOARD OF DIRECTORS WILL MAKE FINAL FUNDING DECISIONS IN LATE FEBRUARY OR EARLY MARCH. RESEARCH AREAS OF INTEREST (THESE ARE NOT LISTED IN ORDER OF PRIORITY) PRODUCTION ISSUES: 1. IMPROVED GENETIC PROGRESS IN SUNFLOWER IS THE 1 PRODUCTION PRIORITY FOR THE NATIONAL SUNFLOWER ASSOCIATION TO ENHANCE COMPETITIVENESS WITH OTHER CROPS AND STABILITY OF YIELD AND QUALITY USING GENOMIC TOOLS. 2. BLACKBIRDS: INNOVATIVE AND NEW APPROACHES TO REDUCE DAMAGE, ESPECIALLY DISCOVERY OF REPELLENTS AND OR CHANGES TO PLANT PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS. 3. FACTORS RELATED TO OPTIMIZING YIELD. THIS COULD INCLUDE EARLY SEASON SUNFLOWER PLANT SCREENING FOR STAND, SEEDING DEPTH, SEED TO SOIL CLOSURE AND CONTACT, VARIABLE SEEDING RATES, SOIL TEMPERATURE/MOISTURE, SEED DORMANCY, SEEDLING VIGOR, AND STAND ESTABLISHMENT IN LOW PH SOILS. 4. DEVELOPMENT OF NEW GENETIC SCREENING AND MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES TO ADDRESS EMERGING SOIL ISSUES SUCH AS TOLERANCE TO SALINE/SODIC SOILS AND POSSIBLE EFFECTS OF LOW PH SOILS. 5. ADAPTATION OF SUNFLOWERS AS A STABLE AND RESILIENT CROPPING ALTERNATIVE IN VIEW OF CLIMATE CHANGE AND VARIABILITY. 6. EARLY, MID AND LATER PLANTING DATE STUDIES ARE NEEDED TO MITIGATE INSECTS, DISEASES AND CROP MATURITY EFFECTS FROM TOO EARLY AND OR TOO LATE PLANTING ON A STATE AND OR REGIONAL BASIS. 7. INVESTIGATE SUNFLOWER SEED TREATMENTS MULTI-MODE OF ACTION PACKAGES TO ADDRESS INSECTS, DISEASES, AND OR NUTRIENT UTILIZATION INCLUDING BIOLOGICAL MATERIALS. INSECTS: 1. EVALUATION OF IPM STRATEGIES (SCOUTING, TRAPPING, THRESHOLDS, INSECTICIDE TESTING ESPECIALLY NEW MODE OF ACTIONS, CULTURAL, BIOLOGICAL) FOR CONTROL OF ECONOMICALLY IMPORTANT INSECT PESTS OF SUNFLOWERS INCLUDING SUNFLOWER HEAD MOTH, BANDED SUNFLOWER MOTH, RED SUNFLOWER SEED WEEVIL, LYGUS BUG, DECTES STEM BORER, MIDGE, WIREWORM, AND OTHERS. 2. SCREEN SUSPECTED INSECTICIDE RESISTANCE FOR ECONOMICALLY IMPORTANT INSECT PESTS OF SUNFLOWER. 3. SCREEN HYBRID AND BREEDING MATERIAL FOR INSECT RESISTANCE. 4. STUDY THE DIRECT AND SECONDARY BENEFITS OF POLLINATORS INCLUDING HONEYBEES AND NATIVE BEES IN SUNFLOWER PRODUCTION. 5. DETERMINE THE ECONOMIC COSTS AND BENEFITS OF USING PESTICIDE SEED TREATMENTS AND APPLICATION INNOVATIONS TO CONTROL WIREWORMS AND CUTWORMS. WEEDS: 1. INNOVATIVE WEED CONTROL STRATEGIES USING EXISTING AND EXPERIMENTAL CHEMISTRIES TO ADDRESS PALMER AMARANTH, HORSEWEED (MARESTAIL), RAGWEED, WATERHEMP, BARNYARD GRASS AND GLYPHOSATE RESISTANT KOCHIA, PRE/BURN-DOWN AND/OR POST EMERGE, AND/OR FALL TIMING AND DEMONSTRATION. 2. ENCOURAGE RESEARCH FOR NEW DESICCANT ACTIVE INGREDIENTS. 3. WEED SPECIES SHIFTS, DUE TO RESISTANCE/TOLERANCE TO COMMON MODES OF ACTION NEED TO BE CONSIDERED FOR BURN-DOWN USES, AS WELL AS EXISTING POST SYSTEMS LIKE CLEARFIELD AND EXPRESSSUN. 4. DEFINE HERBICIDE SUNFLOWER SAFE PLANTING INTERVALS, EVEN DURING A DROUGHT. PRESERVATION OF AND MOA RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT FOR THE POST-EMERGE GROUP 1 GRASS PRODUCTS. GROUP 1 ADDITIVE STRATEGIES MIGHT INCLUDE PRE- PLANT, PRE (AND/OR) EARLY POST APPLICATION OF NON-GROUP 1 MOAS. FOXTAIL, BROME SPECIES AND NON-GROUP 1 WILD OAT OPTIONS NEED TO BE BETTER DEFINED AND DEMONSTRATED FOR SUNFLOWER PRODUCERS. 5. USE OF WEED SEED FREE COVER CROPS AND OR ROTATION CROPS FOR POTENTIAL SUNFLOWER APPLICATIONS. 6. GROUP 15 EFFICACY DEMONSTRATIONS INCLUDING IMPROVING PIGWEED AND GRASS SPECIES CONTROL AND HOW LAYERING MODES OF ACTION USED IN SUNFLOWER CAN BENEFIT ROTATION CROPS SUCH AS WHEAT AND CORN. DISEASES: 1. PHOMOPSIS STEM CANKER IS THE 1 DISEASE PRIORITY FOR THE NATIONAL SUNFLOWER ASSOCIATION. PROPOSALS AIMED AT IMPROVING (OR LEADING TO THE IMPROVEMENT) OF DISEASE MANAGEMENT TOOLS ARE STRONGLY ENCOURAGED. RECOMMENDATIONS INCLUDE, BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO: A. EPIDEMIOLOGY, BIOLOGY AND ETIOLOGY OF PATHOGEN (S) B. FUNGICIDES OR BIOLOGICAL CONTROL C. GENETICS OF THE PATHOGEN AND/OR HOST LEADING TO HOST RESISTANCE D. A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF THE ECONOMIC IMPACT OF THE DISEASE 2. RUST INCLUDING IDENTIFYING RACES AND THE CONTROL OF RUST VIA GENETIC RESISTANCE AND FUNGICIDE APPLICATION. 3. THERE IS CONTINUED INTEREST IN DOWNY MILDEW WITH THE DEVELOPMENT OF NEW RACES AND FUNGICIDE EFFICACY. PROPOSALS LOOKING AT GENETIC RESISTANCE ALONG WITH SEED TREATMENTS WITH MULTIPLE MODES OF ACTION WILL BE OF INTEREST. 4. RHIZOPUS CAN BE A CONCERN AFTER THE HEAD IS DAMAGED BY INSECTS, HAIL, OR OTHER DAMAGE. DETERMINING IF THERE ARE MANAGEMENT OR MITIGATING STRATEGIES TO REDUCE THE IMPACT OF THE DISEASE IS IMPORTANT FOR GROWERS. 5. ADDRESS EMERGING, ECONOMICALLY IMPORTANT DISEASES AFFECTING SUNFLOWER PRODUCTION THROUGH DIAGNOSIS AND DEVELOPMENT OF MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES. 6. SCLEROTINIA PROPOSALS SHOULD BE DIRECTED TO THE NATIONAL SCLEROTINIA INITIATIVE. PRODUCT UTILIZATION 1. LOOKING FOR NOVEL COMPOUNDS IN SEED THAT HAVE INTRINSIC VALUES, INCLUDING NUTRITION ALTERNATIVES.
