To obtain the optimum sowing windows to maximise grain yield of canola, for Mullewa on a light soil and 3 canola cultivars from a computer simulation analysis using the APSIM-Canola model.
• Early sowing is the key to maximise canola yield in your area.
• Maximum canola yields are achieved with April sowing.
• If sowing opportunity is late, assess the risk of achieving a certain yield.
• Use canola opportunistically in your crop rotation.
