The aim of the trial was to analyse the outcomes of simple N management strategies (rate and timing) on grain yield and oil content in canola.
• This season, the application of 100 kg N/ha at seeding provided the highest grain yields. Rates above 100 kg N/ha did not result in any yield benefit.
• Nitrogen application rate had a negative effect on oil content decreasing oil on average by 0.03% per kg applied N.
• Grain yield and oil content responses from spilt applications of N were variable in both trial years (2017 and 2020) due to seasonal conditions.
