Canola response to plant density at Mingenew and Binnu locations
Aims

To compare the plant density response of yield and oil content between hybid canola in TT and RR herbicide tolerance groups.

Key messages
  • Establishment has been close to target at target densities up to 60plants/m2, except GT viper. This is because GT Viper seed used had a lower germination (53%) than was assumed (98%).
