Aims

To compare Canola Breeders’ new TT canola variety CB Sturt TT to its existing low rainfall variety CB Telfer TT in a paddock scale demonstration.

Key messages

  • Differences in flowering could be seen throughout the year, with Sturt flowering later in the season. 
  • Ryegrass was a problem in the trial area and very patchy, which has potentially affected results.
