Gippsland’s canola – should we sow early? locations
Aims

To provide an evaluation of the conventional, Clearfield and TT varieties that are available. 

Key messages
  • Sowing winter habit canola early in the autumn can provide grazing and grain yield.
  • Garnet sown early can still produce good results.
  • In mild weather aphids are a problem longer into the season and possibly sowing a spring variety earlier gives the potential to develop before succumbing to viruses.
