To evaluate a range of commercially available varieties. These reflect the most widely grown varieties in the area and include others that may be considered in the future. They include a number of different grades, reflecting market options in Southern Victoria.
Key messages
2011 proved to be a high yielding year for canola. The site mean from this trial was 3.47t/ha.
The Roundup Ready varieties performed particularly well with 6 of the 7 cultivars yielding above the site mean. Of these 45Y21 RR was the top performer and achieved the highest yield from the trial at 4.4t/ah, 127% of the site mean.
Crusher TT and Thumpr TT (103% of site mean), Hyola 575 CF (106% of site mean) and Garnet Conv. (120% of site mean) were the top performing lines within their respective canola category.
Oil content was generally high in 2011. The mean oil content from this trial was 46.1%.
