Aims

To determine whether the chemical 'Cultar' was effective at reducing the lodging tendency of canola and to measure the effect on yield and oil content.

Key messages

Based on this year's results, there was no benefit to be gained in applying Cultar to reduce lodging in canola. The variety ATR Grace appears to have very good lodging resistance, superior to Pinnacle, the variety used in previous trials. Hopefully lodging resistance will be given a high priority by plant breeders in the future, thereby reducing the need to chemically manipulate the height of the crop.
