The Tactical break crop agronomy project has many canola agronomy trials each year. The plant density of canola has been a key research theme, investigating the difference between Trazine tolerant (TT) and and Roundup ready (RR) canola systems, as well as open pollinated and hybrid types. There were 20 trials between 2013-2014. This page presents the  locations, treatments and reports from these plant density trials.

Canola plant density trial treatments

There were the same eight target density treatments in all trials; 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 40, 60 and 80 plants/m2.

Both triazine tolerant (TT) and Roundup Ready® (RR) varieties were in the trial. There was also a comparison of hybrid and open pollinated (OP) varieties, in each herbicide system.
