Trial location(s) Kohinoor, SA
Canola variety trial locations
Aims

To test 8 TT varieties of hybrid and open pollinated canola.

Key messages
  • Longer season varieties had lowest yields in dry season.
  • Hyola 559 TT had highest yield, oil content and gross margin.
  • Need to consider gross margin over yield as seed and end point royalties (EPR) costs differ.
  • Range of varietal resistance to blackleg at this site.
  • Addition of stubble had no impact on performance of Crusher TT.
