Performance of Brassica juncea and canola locations
Aims

To evaluate B. juncea against new varieties of canola for yield and oil content.

Key messages
  • Juncea canola (Brassica juncea) shows potential as an alternative to canola in the low rainfall zone.
  • 2008 was another very tough year for both canola and juncea canola. Only one out of six trials were harvested but the results were too variable to be meaningful.
