Aims
To continue to build information regarding ideal time of sowing canola.
Key messages
Hail in early October negated the effect of early sowing due to increased shattering losses in the early canola over the later sown canola.
Aphids were very damaging in the podding stages and would have significantly reduced yield and possibly oil content also.
