Aims

To determine the response to increased crop nutrition inputs in a range of high potential spring canola varieties.

Key messages

• The high input management strategy yielded 0.54 t/ha more than low input management but there were no yield differences between varieties.
• There were oil differences observed between varieties with 45Y28 RR the highest at 45.8% and HyTTec Trifecta the lowest at 43.4%.
• Increasing crop inputs from low to high management decreased oil concentration by 1.5%.
