Longer season canola varieties and agronomy (Bool Lagoon canola fungicide and grazing trail) locations
Aims

To evalaute the new canola variety Taurus which has been released for grazing and grain production in the higher rainfall zone.

Key messages

 Mowing to simulate grazing reduced grain yield and plant height. The application of Prosaro at the 3-4 leaf stage increased grain yield over the nil application treatment by reducing the level of internal infection caused by blackleg. The later application of Prosaro (8-10 leaf stage) also decreased the amount of blackleg compared to either the nil or the mowed at 8-10 leaf treatments.
