To determine the effect of final grain yield from grazing canola grown for grian and fodder.
Simulate grazing (mowing) reduced canola grain yield by 17%. The acceptability of yield loss in return for additional feed in the fomr of dry matter (DM)will depend on grain and livestock prices. The trial results highlight the importance of timely grazing management.
