Aims

To evaluate commercially available canola varieties managed under their different technology system recommended practices.

Key messages
  • Average site canola yield in the Dunkeld trial was 1.98 t/ha.
  • The record high temperatures during late spring significantly reduced yield potential.
  • The top yielding variety at Dunkel was the new 45Y82 (CL) hybrid.
  • Average of the Clearfield and Roundup Ready hybrids at the Dunkeld site was 32% of 620 kg/ha higher than the average of the TT check varieties compared to the difference of 34% or 460 kg/ha reported in 2008 at the Ross Bridge site.
  • The average in gross income at the site was $266 per ha more than TT canola.
