Aims

To compare a number of commercially available varieties representing the different herbicide systems.

Key messages
  • Comparing the herbicide systems, TT varieties had the lowest average yield of 2.05 t/ha and conventional varieties yielded the highest at an average of 2.59 t/ha.
  • The highest yielding variety was Hyola 502 with 2.66 t/ha; the lowest yielding variety was Argyll TT with 1.67 t/ha.
  • Overall oil levels were well below normal. TT varieties averaged 39.3%, clearfield varieties 41.1% and Roundup Ready varieties averaged 41.7%.
  • The hybrid varieties demonstrated much greater early vigour compared to the OP varieties.
