Winter Canola Variety Trials and the Winter of

Winter Canola Variety Trials and the Winter of 2013 -2014 Michael Stamm and Scott Dooley Kansas State University, Manhattan Josh Bushong Oklahoma State University, Stillwater 1

Summary of 2013 -2014 • First true test of winter hardiness since acres have grown significantly in the southern Great Plains • First true test of winter hardiness for many of the varieties we currently grow • Yields were reduced because of a lack of plant biomass produced in the spring • We have a better idea of where varieties should or should not be grown 2

Importance of Winter Survival • Winter survival begins with getting a good stand • Low temperatures reduce leaf area, stored N, and water availability • Better survival equals a greater leaf expansion rate in the spring, greater photosynthetic activity, improved weed control, and balanced maturity at harvest • Yield is largely impacted by plant density and is most stable when plants are evenly distributed within the row and across the field 3

Canola Variety Development • More hybrids being tested each year • New traits to evaluate and consider – Semi-dwarf – Clearfield herbicide resistance system • New players in the region – Limagrain – Syngenta – MOMONT • New products from K-State in 1 to 2 years – KSR 07352 S will be marketed as DKW 45 -25 (RR/SURT) – 3 to 4 new Roundup Ready experimental lines – New winter hardy conventional and SU carryover tolerant varieties 6

Take home messages • Diversified cultivar selection is critical • A variety will only show maximum performance when managed appropriately • Use multiple years and locations to make an informed variety selection • Interest in the region is growing, and so is investment in cultivar development 16
