To evaluate and demonstrate the benefits of very early sowing of canola.
• All six early sown canola varieties were higher yielding than all later sown ones.
• As expected, Emu and Battalion flowered much earlier than 44Y27, Invigor 4022P, R4520P and GT53, especially when they were sown early.
• 44Y27 sown early had the longest flowering and was the highest yielding variety in this trial.
