Fungicide timing for control and yield loss from sclerotinia sclerotiorum in canola 2014 trial report

26 September 2014

For successful management of sclerotinia stem rot in most years it is critical to target fungicides at early stage of bloom (20-30%), but optimal timing can vary depending on the season, in particu

Canola response to plant density at Mingenew, 2014 trial report

7 October 2014

Seed of Roundup ready (RR) and hybrid varieties can be up to 30 times more expensive than retained seed of open pollinated (OP) triazine tolerant (TT) varieties, so getting the seed rate right is e

Canola response to plant density at Grass Patch, 2013 trial report

24 October 2014

This trial looked at the impact of plant density response in low rainfall canola. The trial found that birds preferentially attacked low density treatments and late maturing variety Hyola 450TT.
