To determine the effect of factorial combinations of seeding rate, row spacing and pollination type on canola yield and wild radish fecundity.
The competitive ability of open-pollinated and hybrid canola varieties against wild radish is enhanced by increasing canola seeding rates. Wild radish seed production was not reduced when canola was seeded at a narrow row spacing.
