Expanding the sowing window for canola and lupins – what works in WA?
Abstract
Results from eight large field experiments conducted in various locations of Western Australia from 2019 to 2020 to explore the yield and phenologyresponse of canola cultivars from the early (March sowing) to late sowing. Agronomic treatments were multiple times of sowing and canola varieties. Data collected include establishment, phenology and yield. NB there was also a series of hand sown lupin trials, but this data is not included.

Comments
Results from eight large field experiments conducted in Tenindewa, Wongan Hills, Dale and Grass Patch in Western Australia during 2019 and 2020 seasons, to explore the yield and phenology response of canola cultivars of different maturity. Agronomic treatments were four or five times of sowing (from mid March, every three weeks until the start of June) and canola varieties of different maturity (early, early mid and mid/long), and both hybrid and open polinated types. Data collected includes establishment, phenology and yield. The datasets were fed into the APSIM model to predict yield and to calibrate the model for better accuracy on heat stress and frost risk periods of canola. Individual field trial information is available in separate excel files. Data includes raw ‘plot’ data (4 reps) and summary data where ‘plot’ data has been analysed using Genstat. Summaries of each field trial with commentary is also available. NB there was also a series of hand sown lupin trials, but this data is not included.
