Canopy management evaluation in canola locations
Aims
  • To determine how nitrogen timings developed for canopy management (based on stem elongation timings) apply to canola.
  • To establish whether the interaction hybrid and conventional varieties interact differently with plant population and N timing.
  • To determine whether reflectance from the Greenseeker has a relationship with dry matter.
