Abstract

Optimising the sowing date of canola in specific environments is an important determinant of yield (Kirkegaard et al. 2016). A central theme of the Optimised Canola Profitability (OCP) project has been to evaluate interactions between sowing time and variety to determine the feasibility of earlier sowing of canola (early April), and to develop management protocols for optimal biomass to produce the most profitable crops. The Agricultural Production Systems sIMulator (APSIM) simulations from historical data predict higher yield potentialfor earlier sown canola in a number of locations in southern NSW, and many of the sowing date/variety trials conducted to date demonstrated that higher yields were achieved when canola was sown earlier than the traditional Anzac Day sowing window following good summer fallow management.
