In 2017, there were three canola variety trials sown across the South East region of South Australia: located at
Keith, Bordertown and Frances. The site at Keith evaluates early season varieties, and those at Bordertown and
Frances evaluate mid-season varieties. Both sets of trials have similar sowing and harvest times and have a similar
complement of varieties, although there may be several early maturity varieties in the early series that are not
tested in the mid-series, or vice-versa. The data from the 2017 Bordertown canola variety trials has not been
released.
