To select for early lines to be used in districts located around Minnipa (SA), Walpeup (Vic) and Condobolin (NSW).
Key messages
Canolas and mustards performed well at sites with low growing season rainfall and high levels of stored water.
Roundup Ready lines show great promise over current commercial lines in better seasons.
At the one site tested over the last three years under low rainfall conditions, there was good promise of higher yields with acceptable quality for both canola and mustards.
