To compare the performance of new canola varieties, including genetically modified (GM) options; Roundup Ready®, TruFlex® and LibertyLink®, alongside current conventional, Triazine Tolerant (TT) and Clearfield® (CL) varieties.
• Despite a dry spring, canola performed well at Hart in 2023 with oilseed yields ranging from 1.71 to 2.75 t/ha.
• Several varieties produced high yields including conventional variety Nuseed Diamond, Clearfield® varieties Nuseed Ceres and Pioneer PY421C, genetically modified varieties Nuseed Hunter (TruFlex®) and Pioneer 44Y30 RR (Roundup Ready®), ranging from 2.55 to 2.75 t/ha.
• Overall yield penalties were observed for TT canola options, achieving 2.02 t/ha, a grain yield reduction of up to 0.44 t/ha when compared to other technology traits.
• All varieties, except for HyTTec Trophy, HyTTec Velocity, PY520TC and RGT Capacity achieved oil content above 42%, contributing to oil premiums that improve gross margins ($/ha).
