The canola variety trial at Inverleigh compares a number of commercially available Triazine Tolerant and Clearfield canola varieties.
Clearfield canola varieties demonstrated good early crop vigour compared to Triazine Tolerant varieties. There was a clear yield difference by harvest, where TT varieties averaged 2.28 t/ha compared to 1.93 t/ha in the Clearfield varieties. The highest yielding canola variety at Inverleigh was Argyle with 3.03 t/ha.
