{"data":{"resource":{"id":46,"name":"Seeding canola in dry conditions","type":"html","intro":null,"content":"<h4>In dry soil conditions, growers may be tempted to seed deep enough to reach moisture.<\/h4>\n<p>This is not necessary from March to April. The common recommendation to seed no deeper than 25 mm still applies in dry conditions.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Here&rsquo;s why:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>In March through to April, there is still time to wait for a rain to provide the moisture needed for germination and emergence. There is nothing to be gained from seeding deep in this situation<\/li>\n<li>Going deeper to reach moisture also means cooler soil. Cool conditions combined with the extended distance seedlings must grow to reach the soil surface will mean higher seed and seedling mortality. Higher seeding rates will be needed to compensate.<\/li>\n<li>Deep seeding guarantees that some will go into secondary dormancy. Dormant seed will not germinate this year, and will add to the volunteer canola seed bank.<\/li>\n<li>Deep seeding allows weeds emerging at the same time to get ahead of the crop. Shallow seeding is a good integrated weed management technique.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Things to consider:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Field topography.<\/strong> Shallow seeding into dry hilly land may result in uneven emergence if seeds in low spots have enough moisture to germinate even without a rain event. However, in these fields, deep seeding to reach moisture may not necessarily be an improvement. Uneven emergence is still a strong possibility. The good news is that seeds emerging first in these lower areas may mature later due to better moisture and fertility, so in the end, differences in emergence date between low spots and hill tops may even out later in the season.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Soil type.<\/strong> Growers may get away with deeper seeding &mdash; at 25mm instead of 12mm &mdash; in lighter soils. Sandier soil tends to dry out faster on top, so moisture and seedbed conditions would be better at this slightly deeper depth.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The tillage effect<\/strong>. In tilled fields, the top layer will be dusty in dry conditions, so seeding at 25mm instead of 12mm could be a benefit. No till is ideally suited to areas that tend to be dry.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Seeding rate.<\/strong> Seeding deeper than recommended will often require a higher seeding rate to meet target plant stands, given that seedling mortality will be higher in deep soils &mdash; especially with the added stress of dry conditions.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Seed-placed fertiliser.<\/strong> In dry conditions, the risk of seed and seedling loss from fertiliser is higher. Consider lowering the rates of seed-placed fertiliser in dry conditions.<\/p>\n<h4>Here are some tips:<\/h4>\n<p><strong>Seed doesn&rsquo;t have to be IN moisture<\/strong>. Seed placed on moisture is OK when seeding deeper because the additional soil above the seed row slows that moisture loss. Make sure the seed row is well packed to seal in that moisture, allow for some moisture migration, provide good seed-to-soil contact, and prevent further drying out.<\/p>\n<p>Recognise that deeper seeding will increase seed and seedling mortality. Add 10% to the seeding rate to compensate.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Deeper seeding can increase seedling disease risk<\/strong>. Part of the increased mortality with deep seeding is due to increased exposure to seedling pathogens. Deeper seeding means more plant material underground &mdash; material that is exposed to pathogens. Seedlings stressed to reach the surface due to deep seedling may also be more vulnerable to disease. This seedling disease risk can be higher in fields with canola in shorter rotations.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Put starter phosphate in the seed row.<\/strong> Keep to the recommended safe rates of phosphorus, probably about 22kg\/ha of actual phosphate &mdash; or lower depending on your seedbed utilisation. The nitrogen component of ammonium phosphate can damage seed and seedlings at rates higher than that. This risk is higher in dry conditions.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Consider the crusting risk.<\/strong> For heavier soils, a rain before canola emergence could create a crust above the seed row. Because deep seeded canola tends to take longer to emerge, the risk of rain before emergence is higher. Bare soils are more prone to crusting than soils with higher surface residue. With wet conditions, growers may have tilled or harrowed soils that they may not have tilled in the past. In this case, the risk of crusting may be increased relative to past experience.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Heavy rain could also fill in furrows.<\/strong> Instead of 37mm of soil cover, it could be 75mm if the knife point and press wheel combination creates a deep seed trench that fills with mud after a rain.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Slow down when seeding deep to more closely manage seed depth for all rows.<\/strong> At higher speeds, back rows tend to throw more dirt over the front rows.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;\">CA0623-08A<\/span><\/p>","image":{"id":523,"parent_id":383,"name":"Canola-dry-seeding-tn.jpg","description":null,"storage":"assets","size":412447,"extension":"jpeg","mime_type":"image\/jpeg","width":800,"height":600,"keywords":null,"usage":{"resources.46":"Seeding canola in dry conditions"},"created_at":"2022-01-14T04:53:38.000000Z","updated_at":"2023-10-04T01:27:26.000000Z","readonly":null,"value":null,"_meta":null,"node_path":[{"id":383,"name":"Resources","parent_id":null},{"id":523,"name":"Canola-dry-seeding-tn.jpg","parent_id":383}],"link":"\/asset\/523.jpeg","readable_size":"402.78 kB","secured":false,"secured_token":"eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJzdG9yYWdlcyI6WyJzZWN1cmVfYXNzZXRzIl0sImZpbGUiOjUyM30.LJSz2m7s319VCShLec7U_tRYTZqL_66a007_epiGKcA","full_path":"383\/523"},"file":null,"file_url":null,"video":null,"video_name":null,"video_location":null,"name_id":"seeding-canola-in-dry-conditions","path":"resource-centre\/canola-resources\/technical-insights-agronomy-info\/seeding-canola-in-dry-conditions","meta_keywords":"deep, seeding, emergence, canola, management","meta_description":"Seeding canola in dry conditions can be a challenge, but with proper management techniques such as deep seeding and moisture conservation, the crop's emergence can be optimized.

{"data":{"resource":{"id":50,"name":"Rotations balancing agronomics & economics","type":"html","intro":"When you think of crop rotations what comes to mind? What is a crop rotation? Is there an ideal rotation? Why do I need one and how am I going to make money?","content":"<p>It is important to understand that healthy crop rotations make healthier crops and more productive fields. In mother nature there are no monoculture crops like what we are growing in agriculture.<\/p>\n<p>Seeding the same thing every second year is not a rotation. Planting the same crop, at the same time and spraying the same products encourage pests, diseases, weeds, and fertility problems. Cool winter temperatures slow the breakdown of residues so they remain to perpetuate pest problems. Reducing these pressures leads to healthier plants that may not need to be sprayed with a pesticide.<\/p>\n<p>A crop rotation can increase your yields even if you don&rsquo;t change anything else. Larger yields and reduced pest pressure may result in higher returns. Planting a variety of crops allows a larger number of pesticides to be used, reducing the chance of resistance becoming a major issue. Planning a rotation allows you to use more agronomic tools to maximize the economic returns. Having a healthy rotation gives you more flexibility versus a back to back rotation such as canola\/wheat or lentil\/durum.<\/p>\n<p>Any crop rotation should be based on sound principles but remain flexible to allow for variations in the seasonal break, commodity prices and changing circumstances. What happens in one paddock is linked to activities across the farm, such as balancing grazing demands or spreading commodity and financial risk.<\/p>\n<p>It is also important that economic returns from a canola crop are considered for the full term of the cropping rotation and not just on an individual crop basis. Research has shown that the benefits from growing canola can flow on to subsequent crops for two or three years after the initial canola crop. While preparing a simple gross margin on the canola crop will give a guide to the input costs and potential returns, it does not take longer-term benefits into consideration nor does it spread some long-term costs &ndash; such as the application of lime\/gypsum &ndash; over several crops. The benefits of having canola in the rotation include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Reduced incidence of diseases such as take-all, crown rot and common root rot in winter cereal crops grown after canola through the removal of their grass weed hosts. Numerous studies have demonstrated an average yield increase of 20 per cent in wheat crops grown after canola compared to wheat grown after wheat. If disease levels are high, the yield increase may be significantly more than 20 per cent;<\/li>\n<li>Canola leaves a more friable topsoil which is well suited to the direct drilling of the following cereal crop;<\/li>\n<li>Rotation of herbicide groups reduces the potential for herbicide resistance to develop and for herbicide residues to accumulate in the soil. It also results in better longerterm control of weeds;<\/li>\n<li>Spreads the time available to use machinery and labour because of canola&rsquo;s earlier sowing and harvest timing relative to cereals; and<\/li>\n<li>Provides a range of grain delivery and marketing options. Selling grain off the header at harvest can give growers an early cashflow and reduce on-farm storage demand, while storing or warehousing canola can spread price risk and provide marketing flexibility.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These benefits can result in a more profitable and sustainable farming operation by:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Consistently producing higher yielding, more profitable cereal crops;<\/li>\n<li>More diversified income from growing a range of crop types;<\/li>\n<li>An alternative to cereals with an established and stable marketing system;<\/li>\n<li>Improved weed control and herbicide resistance management;<\/li>\n<li>Enabling more efficient use of machinery and labour because of a broader spread of crop preparation, sowing and harvesting operations;<\/li>\n<li>Reduced competition with wheat and other grains for on-farm grain storage as canola is not usually stored on farm; and<\/li>\n<li>Providing a range of marketing options to manage price risk.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>There is not one ideal rotation that will fit every farm. A rotation should be tailored to your individual situation and forward planning can let you incorporate options in your program to reduce your risk from weeds, pests and diseases. A good rotation may include a pulse, cereal, oilseed, summer\/winter season crops, and even forage. The most efficient rotation is one where disease, weeds and the risk of production failure can be minimised while fertility and profitability are maximised.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Reference:<\/strong> Australian Oilseeds Foundation, &lsquo;Crop rotation and paddock selection&rsquo; : 71_GRDC_Canola_Guide_Crop_rotation__and__paddock_selection.pdf (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.australianoilseeds.com\">australianoilseeds.com<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;\">CA0623-07A<\/span><\/p>","image":{"id":532,"parent_id":383,"name":"agro-and-economic-tips-tn.jpg","description":null,"storage":"assets","size":343905,"extension":"jpeg","mime_type":"image\/jpeg","width":800,"height":600,"keywords":null,"usage":{"resources.50":"Rotations balancing agronomics & economics"},"created_at":"2022-01-18T04:24:24.000000Z","updated_at":"2023-10-04T01:27:26.000000Z","readonly":null,"value":null,"_meta":null,"node_path":[{"id":383,"name":"Resources","parent_id":null},{"id":532,"name":"agro-and-economic-tips-tn.jpg","parent_id":383}],"link":"\/asset\/532.jpeg","readable_size":"335.84 kB","secured":false,"secured_token":"eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJzdG9yYWdlcyI6WyJzZWN1cmVfYXNzZXRzIl0sImZpbGUiOjUzMn0.VnnRPc-ay-nOA4gwHMi9HOVY8KQgsImi20a_H41kX6c","full_path":"383\/532"},"file":null,"file_url":null,"video":null,"video_name":null,"video_location":null,"name_id":"rotations-balancing-agronomics-economics","path":"resource-centre\/canola-resources\/technical-insights-agronomy-info\/rotations-balancing-agronomics-economics","meta_keywords":"canola, rotations, health, disease, control, yield,","meta_description":"Effective canola rotations are crucial for maintaining a healthy and productive crop.

Growers and advisors do not need bad news or scare tactics.<\/p>\n<p>We all have a choice to add diversity to weed and disease management as resistance is identified and\/or evolves. These measures aim to reduce the yield and quality losses associated with the disease but are not likely to eliminate the pathogen or prevent herbicide resistance.<\/p>\n<p>Relying on herbicides alone to manage weeds is not the answer, as research and experience on-farm have clearly shown in Australia and globally.<\/p>\n<p>Regional disease monitoring over many years across Australia, has demonstrated that field populations of <em>L. maculans<\/em> (blackleg) have high evolutionary potential and rapidly adapt to selection pressure from sowing cultivars with major gene resistance, which can lead to resistance &lsquo;break- down&rsquo; within a few years of hybrid release.<\/p>\n<p>Major gene resistance is a gene-for-gene interaction with the pathogen having a virulence gene corresponding to the resistance gene in the host canola plant. Changes in the frequency of <em>L. maculans<\/em> isolates virulent on cultivars dependent on major gene resistance have led to a &lsquo;boom and bust&rsquo; type cycle and resulted in severe yield losses in Australian grown canola.<\/p>\n<p>Breakdowns of blackleg resistance relying on major gene resistance have been reported from commercial field situations in Australia in the past.<\/p>\n<p>ALL Pioneer&reg; brand Y series&reg; and T series&reg; canola hybrids strategically deploy a combination of quantitative (polygenic) and qualitative (major genes) blackleg resistance. Research and experience have proven that quantitative resistance used in an integrated approach with cultural practices and fungicides (seed\/foliar) is effective in protecting yield potential while contributing significantly to durable resistance over more years in the field.<\/p>\n<p>Rotation of cultivars every 3 years can influence shifts in avirulent allele frequencies of <em>L. maculans<\/em>. Validation of the success from rotation of cultivar resistance groups (based on presence of a major gene) over the longer term is inconclusive.<\/p>\n<p>An integrated strategy involving cultural practices and fungicide use should be recommended to help preserve the effectiveness of genetic resistance leading to the durability of the resistance in the long-term.<\/p>\n<h2>Responsible stewardship programs for blackleg should include:<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li>Know your risks by monitoring the incidence and trends in severity of stem cankering at windrowing the preceding canola crop and scouting early in the season for leaf lesions in newly sown canola;<\/li>\n<li>Cultural practices, particularly less intensive rotation of canola, isolation from last year&rsquo;s canola stubble and agronomic practices such as early sowing in April can help to escape high risk of blackleg infection in field situations in addition to managing other risk factors (e.g. pest damage, losses from heat\/soil moisture deficit\/late frosts in spring) that may limit yield potential;<\/li>\n<li>A higher priority is to separate canola from last year&rsquo;s stubble particularly in high-risk situations using a farm rotational planner and talking to neighbours;<\/li>\n<li>Always use the latest hybrid canola blackleg ratings as the virulence of local blackleg populations may change through crop rotation cycles;<\/li>\n<li>Avoid blanket recommendations from advisors to plant only one canola hybrid in a district or rely on the same variety over more than two (2) years;<\/li>\n<li>Using fungicides on seed and applied to fertiliser when planting canola particularly in tight rotations is a &lsquo;critical&rsquo; best management practice that will reduce fungal infections up to the 3-5 leaf stage;<\/li>\n<li>Strategic deployment of foliar fungicides complements other stewardship measures to reduce the severity of stem cankers that in turn helps to protect yield potential;<\/li>\n<li>Avoid relying on one tactic only to manage resistance (herbicide, disease) and follow-up with another tactic in an integrated double\/multiple knock approach.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>In conclusion, the use of race-specific major gene resistance to manage blackleg has been beneficial to improve variety blackleg ratings of new canola hybrids.

Hybrids, the best canola seed on the market, are referred to as the F1 generation. The harvested grain from growing a hybrid is the F2 generation; and F2 progeny is expected to segregate for each gene in which the parent lines differed. This means a hybrid will not faithfully reproduce itself &ndash; it will produce a range of progeny that may differ in production (yield), disease resistance, height maturity and grain quality traits.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bottom line: Hybrid vigour is lost in the F2 generation. This is the genetic basis of the risks associated with using F2 seed for planting.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>The advantages of F1 hybrid seed in canola<\/h2>\n<p>The key findings from published field research clearly demonstrate the following agronomic, economic and marketing advantages of using commercial F1 hybrid seed:<\/p>\n<h4>AGRONOMIC<\/h4>\n<p>Hybrid vigour:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>increases rates of plant emergence and earlier canopy closure;<\/li>\n<li>internal Blackleg infection and stem lodging are consistently reduced;<\/li>\n<li>less variation in plant height is observed;<\/li>\n<li>uniform flowering date and maturity aids timely management decisions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>ECONOMIC<\/h4>\n<p>Improved levels of hybridity and lower count of &ldquo;male sterile&rdquo; plants mean greater reliability in performance of the hybrid; Grain yields ranging from 7% and up to 30% higher compared to F2 hybrids; Bonus pricing on the back of a consistent trend to slightly improved oil content.<\/p>\n<h4>MARKETING<\/h4>\n<p>Designation of approved varieties by the breeder to meet industry trading standards is on the basis of first generation (F1) seed only; Lower levels of grain quality such as erucic acid, glucosinolates and green seed that may add the risk of discounts or grain rejection at delivery.<\/p>\n<h2>Focus on maximising the benefits of hybrids<\/h2>\n<p>Recommendations to achieve the best results from growing hybrid canola:<\/p>\n<h4>MAKE EVERY SEED COUNT<\/h4>\n<p>Professional hybrid seed growers backed by specialist company agronomists ensure the quality of commercial F1 hybrid seed will exceed results from retained F2 seed. Testing of seed purity, germination and hybridity provides quality assurance and peace of mind. Using quality hybrid seed opens the opportunity to reduce planting rates and sow canola earlier without compromising stand establishment or grain yield potential. The importance of seed quality increases significantly under stressful field conditions. Professionally applied seed treatments protect your investment by using advanced formulations and specialist equipment that helps to ensure user safety and timeliness of sowing operations in addition to maximising the efficacy against targeted disease and pests.<\/p>\n<h4>MAXIMISE YOUR PROFITS<\/h4>\n<p>Hybrid vigour of F1 seed allows earlier sowing timing and promotes quicker canopy closure that together maximize grain yield potential in canola. With good management, hybrid canola offers canola growers the opportunity to increase yields and improve yield stability over seasons which in turn underpins profitability across all growing zones. Paddock selection, crop nutrition, canopy management, crop protection and harvest hygiene are the common key practices. Always use F1 hybrid and balance the inputs for hybrid canola with the demonstrated benefits of hybrids to exceed your expectations from growing open-pollinated triazine tolerant varieties. If you recognise that treating canola seed as the basis for a high-yielding crop, you&rsquo;ll choose F1 hybrids.<\/p>\n<h4>PROTECT MARKET ACCESS<\/h4>\n<p>Delivery and marketing of hybrid canola is no different to open-pollinated varieties. Always check contractual quality specifications when using retained F2 seed. Price discounts are an important opportunity cost that may be hidden in using retained F2 seed. Australian oilseeds are widely recognised for proactive and responsible stewardship throughout the supply chain that in turn optimises profitability and protects access to existing markets while expanding into new markets.<\/p>\n<h2>Count on the proven benefits of growing hybrid canola<\/h2>\n<ul style=\"list-style-type: circle;\">\n<li>Higher yield potential than open-pollinated canola<\/li>\n<li>Greater choice of herbicide tolerant systems such as Clearfield, Triazine and Roundup Ready<\/li>\n<li>Increased early vigour and crop competition to protect against losses from weeds and pests<\/li>\n<li>Better reliability across paddocks and over seasons to manage financial risks<\/li>\n<li>Fits into well-managed minimum tillage and precision farming systems<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Contact your local <a href=\"\/contact\/your-local-pioneer-representative\">Pioneer&reg; Seeds Australia representative<\/a> if you require further information on the benefits of using F1 hybrid canola seed.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;\">CA0623-09A<\/span><\/p>","image":{"id":564,"parent_id":383,"name":"benefits-f1-canola--tn.jpg","description":null,"storage":"assets","size":593866,"extension":"jpeg","mime_type":"image\/jpeg","width":800,"height":600,"keywords":null,"usage":{"resources.58":"The benefits of F1 hybrid canola"},"created_at":"2022-01-30T20:32:12.000000Z","updated_at":"2023-10-04T01:27:27.000000Z","readonly":null,"value":null,"_meta":null,"node_path":[{"id":383,"name":"Resources","parent_id":null},{"id":564,"name":"benefits-f1-canola--tn.jpg","parent_id":383}],"link":"\/asset\/564.jpeg","readable_size":"579.95 kB","secured":false,"secured_token":"eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJzdG9yYWdlcyI6WyJzZWN1cmVfYXNzZXRzIl0sImZpbGUiOjU2NH0.wY2XOsCohGSPZx3v7H0nM42iyZyZLClRMSq0I_BpHUw","full_path":"383\/564"},"file":null,"file_url":null,"video":null,"video_name":null,"video_location":null,"name_id":"the-benefits-of-f1-hybrid-canola","path":"resource-centre\/canola-resources\/technical-insights-agronomy-info\/the-benefits-of-f1-hybrid-canola","meta_keywords":"canola, hybrids, yield, uniformity, harvestability,","meta_description":"F1 hybrid canola offers a number of advantages over traditional canola varieties, including increased yield, greater uniformity, and improved harvestability.

{"data":{"resource":{"id":64,"name":"Maximising canola yield potential following a wet year","type":"html","intro":null,"content":"<p>The majority of canola growers are now highly experienced in agronomy and work with farm advisors and agronomists on &lsquo;as need&rsquo; basis. However, from time to time it is useful to get back to basics to check you are doing all you can to maximise yield.<\/p>\n<h2>Hybrid considerations<\/h2>\n<p>When it comes to hybrid selection, select a canola hybrid with the best package of yield, oil, maturity to suit and disease resistance available. Plant breeders continue to focus on bringing better products to market. Remember, they have thousands of plots in the ground for evaluation so that you can choose one or two of the best.<\/p>\n<p>Look at proven performers over two canola growing seasons by comparing not just across location, but when grown in a similar location to your farm by referring to the latest Grains National Variety Trials (NVT) Harvest <a title=\"NVT Reports\" href=\"https:\/\/grdc.com.au\/resources-and-publications\/all-publications\/nvt-crop-sowing-guides\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reports <\/a>from the Grains Research and Development Corporation (GRDC).<\/p>\n<h2>Paddock considerations<\/h2>\n<p>With paddock selection, there are a number of attributes to consider. There is the overall soil health including soil pH, soil structure and fertility, the timing of the crop in the rotation, the herbicides used in the previous year, plant-back periods and the weed seedbank history.<\/p>\n<p>Canola growers who experience a wetter season in the year previous to the current sowing season, are impacted by some challenges when planning for this year&rsquo;s crop.<\/p>\n<p>While canola is a small seed, we know that great soil structure is better for the oxygen levels in soil, the infiltration of water, soil biology, and healthy root growth. Canola is tap-rooted and roots will commonly explore down to 1.5-2.0 metres.<\/p>\n<p>Sodic soils are dispersive, meaning they repel the take-up of water. They literally get wetter, because the water sits on top and cannot penetrate the profile, or they get drier. The water on top never has a chance to infiltrate so it evaporates more quickly, which means it isn&rsquo;t there for the crop to access.<\/p>\n<p>These sodic soils require fixing or amelioration before growers even consider planting canola. An uneven plant population is worse than a low plant population with canola. An input like gypsum to ameliorate the sodic soil also requires soil moisture to start working, usually the first 50 mm in a canola growing season, so it makes sense to apply it well before the autumn break. Animal manures can supply organic matter and nutrients at low levels and can also help to ameliorate the soil from sodicity (high exchangeable Sodium &gt; 5%). Mechanical amelioration may be required in severe situations.<\/p>\n<h2>Nutrient considerations<\/h2>\n<p>Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Sulphur are the top three nutrients required by canola. While residual organic nitrogen can supply some of the crop&rsquo;s nitrogen requirements, additional nitrogen fertiliser will be needed to maximise yield potential. Nitrogen intervention in the early canola growth stages is critical to achieving yield potential through accumulation of biomass between emergence and 4-6 leaf.<\/p>\n<p>Canola is not as efficient at recovering soil nitrogen from the ground as a wheat plant, so it yields more where there is surplus nitrogen to its crop requirements. Monitor the health of the crop throughout all crop growth stages and be responsive to meeting the crop needs dependent on seasonal conditions.<\/p>\n<p>Consider what happened the year before. If paddocks were waterlogged, it is likely that denitrification of nitrogen occurred in anaerobic conditions and leaching and runoff events were also likely. These events coupled with increase yields in many environments meant an exit of nitrogen from the system. However, with a wet spring, soils with reasonable to good organic matter are likely to have mineralised nitrogen in warm, wet conditions. Soils lower in organic matter will have been more reliant on top-dressed nitrogen to meet crop needs, but it can be challenging to apply nitrogen with supply and paddock trafficability issues.<\/p>\n<p>We are always balancing the supply of nitrogen and the supply of soil water in a rainfed situation. They are both essential, and when we have one without the other, the crop experiences stress and growth slows or comes to a halt early in the canola growing season. Many cropping soils have adequate levels of phosphorus in the soil-bank and for most soil types this benchmark is above 30-35 . Early phosphorus is essential for setting yield potential and growth under cold conditions.<\/p>\n<p>Canola does need sulphur (S) but it doesn&rsquo;t require as much as thought in years previous, using approximately 3.0 kg\/ha per tonne of canola. An application of 400-500 kg\/ha Gypsum to a paddock will often supply enough sulphur for three high-yielding canola crops, allowing for some movement and loss in the paddock. If you&rsquo;re unsure about S levels then get this nutrient tested along with your deep N test. Sulphur is mobile and may be sitting down further in the soil profile.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Rob Wilson<\/strong><br \/>Pioneer Seeds, Canola Account Manager<\/p>\n<p>For more information contact your local <a href=\"\/contact\/your-local-pioneer-representative\">Pioneer Seeds Territory Sales Manager<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;\">CA0623-04A<\/span><\/p>","image":{"id":577,"parent_id":383,"name":"max-canola-yield-after-wet-tn.jpg","description":null,"storage":"assets","size":483942,"extension":"jpeg","mime_type":"image\/jpeg","width":800,"height":600,"keywords":null,"usage":{"resources.64":"Maximising canola yield potential following a wet year"},"created_at":"2022-01-30T22:19:01.000000Z","updated_at":"2023-10-04T01:27:27.000000Z","readonly":null,"value":null,"_meta":null,"node_path":[{"id":383,"name":"Resources","parent_id":null},{"id":577,"name":"max-canola-yield-after-wet-tn.jpg","parent_id":383}],"link":"\/asset\/577.jpeg","readable_size":"472.60 kB","secured":false,"secured_token":"eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJzdG9yYWdlcyI6WyJzZWN1cmVfYXNzZXRzIl0sImZpbGUiOjU3N30.c_LF6lM9JZ--xI9_CkDbHBN_e03UsutHvPFEWq10A5U","full_path":"383\/577"},"file":null,"file_url":null,"video":null,"video_name":null,"video_location":null,"name_id":"maximising-canola-yield-potential-following-a-wet-year","path":"resource-centre\/canola-resources\/technical-insights-agronomy-info\/maximising-canola-yield-potential-following-a-wet-year","meta_keywords":"hybrid, selection, canola, yield, oil, disease resistance, seed,","meta_description":"Maximising canola yield potential following a wet year requires careful hybrid selection, disease resistance, and proper management techniques.
