To examine the suitability of elite commercial and unreleased winter canola cultivars for Hyper-yielding regions
ï‚· There is a gradual shift earlier in flowering date with new cultivars, with the recently released Phoenix CL, SF Nizza CL and now Hyola Feast CL (CL82005) all being at least five days faster to flower than the industry benchmark Hyola 970CL.
ï‚· The fastest winter was still however 19 days slower to flower than the slowest spring cultivar, highlighting the need for local breeding to fill this space.
ï‚· CL82005 (now Hyola Feast CL) was the highest yielding variety and had the highest oil concentration. It will form a major part of HYC canola trial programs in coming seasons.
ï‚· The mean yield of the winter screen of 4.04 t/ha was 0.74 t/ha below the mean yield of the spring screen. The flowering date of the winter cultivars was later than ideal for the region, whereas the spring cultivars can flower close to the optimum flowering date (late August-early September).
