Contributor Liebe Group
Trial location(s) Dalwallinu, WA
Canola variety demonstration - Dalwallinu locations
Aims

To compare yield and quality of new and existing canola varieties in a paddock scale demonstration trial.

Key messages
  • Farmer observation: Jackpot looked more drought stressed than other varieties. 
  • Quality tests were also taken to determine oil content. CBH standards require oil to be greater than 38% for CAN1 grade, CAN2 must be over 30%. Snapper and Bonanza were the only varieties to make CAN1 oil grade with Jackpot TT and ATR Stingray, Crusher TT, Fighter TT and Hyola 555TT all less than 1% lower than the required 38%. 
  • This farmer demonstration should be interpreted with caution. It is suggested to refer to national variety trial data over a number of seasons to get a better picture of variety performance.
