Contributor Southern Farming Systems
Trial location(s) Willaura, VIC
Canola - Streatham locations
Aims
  • To confirm the ability of growth regulators to reduce crop height, and therefore reduce the problem of lodging in conventionally grown canola.
  • To assess the potential yield and or oil reduction following a single application of growth regulators.
Key messages
  • The results suggest that there was no significant impact on yield or oil content of the canola following the application of growth regulators. This was again demonstrated in the economics, with only a $ 24/ha difference in the price of canola received from the plots. The only exception to this was the Cycocel @ 1.3 L/ha, which produced slightly less yield. 
  • For further conclusions please see the attached trial report.
