Aims

To evaluate the performance of canola varities under irrigated conditions.

Key messages
  • Trial yields averaged 4.03 t/ha
  • The performance of the various herbicide groups ranged from 3.2 t/ha  for the triazine tolerant varieties, 4.5 t/ha for the Clearfields, 4.6 t/ha for the conventionals and 4.8 t/ha for the Roundup Ready varieties.
  • The early-mid to mid maturity varieties tended to be the highest yielding from an April 18th sowing.
