Performance of canola types suited to the HRZ locations
Aims

To assess the potential of non-commercial later maturing canola lines for the HRZ of southern Australia.

 

Key messages
  • New late maturing non-commercial lines were amongst the highest yielding, with yields greater than 6 t/ha.
  • The winter-spring crosses K50058 and K50058 and winter types AGF437 and AGF484 have performed consistently well across a number of seasons at Hamilton and Inverleigh.
  • Optimising sowing times may provide additional yield increases.
  • High yields were achieved from poor plant establishment numbers, showing that canola has the ability to compensate from low plant numbers if the seasonal conditions are favourable.
