Aims

To evaluate different canola varieties for yield and grain quality.

Key messages

There are a number of excellent canola varieties available for producers in south west Victoria. It is important to consider many aspects of a variety such as disease resistance, maturity, standability, as well as yield and oil content before making the final selection. The choice of conventional, triazine tolerant or Clearfield types will depend upon the weed spectrum at planting. It would appear that
the Conventional and Clearfield varieties are outyielding the Triazine Tolerant varieties as a group and should be considered where the weed spectrum can be controlled with appropriate herbicides.
