Aims

To assess the performance of newly released canola varieties in the West Midlands.

Key messages
  • There were no significant differences in yields between the varieties
  • Quality information (admix and oil %) was not available at the time of printing.
  • Due to the risk of spray drift onto sensitive crops, broadleaf control of the trial was not ideal. This may have had an impact on trial yields. • Jardee didn’t produce the expected yield advantage over the TT varieties that was expected. This may have been due to consecutive hot days in mid-October reducing the potential for later maturing varieties. This is supported by the highest yield in the trial being the earliest maturity variety (Tanami), although this was not a significant difference.
