Evaluation of European canola types locations
Aims

To evaluate the grain potential of European canola types, in particular long season winter types for their suitability to the high rainfall regions of southern Autralia.

Key messages
  • The European cultivars producted grain yields up to 4.78 t/ha.
  • Grain yields from two of the European cultivars were significantly greater than Jardee TT but not significantly greater than Hyola 50 and 46Y83.
  • The later maturity of the winter types may provide different management options to growers including grazing and time of sowing.
  • Further testing of the European cultivars will need to be conducted over more locations and seasons and under different manangement to determine their potential for the HRZ.
