To evaluate a range of commercially available canola varieties.
• 45Y22RR was the top performer across both sites, yielding at 120% of the site mean at Inverleigh and 109% at Westmere.
• The Mid and Mid to Late season varieties of Thumper, Hyola 555 & Crusher TT have performed consistently well over the past 3 seasons across a number of trials in the Lake Bolac area. Hyola 656 TT will be one to watch after showing promise at both SFS sites in 2012.
• Hyola 50 & Garnet conventional varieties have proved to be reliable performers over the past 4 years, regularly yielding 3t/ha and over.
• 45Y86 CL was the standout Clearfield variety in 2012, with Hyola 575 CL remaining a consistent performer over the past 2 years.
