Canola nutrition and disease management locations
Aims

To investigate the effect of nutrition and disease management on canola yield and quality at Westmere in 2014.
 

Key messages
  • Split application of nitrogen at green bud and full flower produced the highest yields.
  • The risk of a dry season can be reduced by using split fertiliser timings.
  • Applying nitrogen consistently increases levels of protein in canola but reduces oil content.
  • Using flutrifaol-treated starter fertiliser and in-crop fungicides increased yields of canola by an average of 0.42 t/ha.
  • Fungicide use had no consistent impact on grain quality.
