3 Before seeding

4 have a destination.

5 have a destination.

6 know your field history. Many common herbicides have plantback restrictions, including: Ally, Amber, Assert, Beyond, Diuron Everest, Finesse, Maverick, Olympus, Peak, Powerflex, Pursuit

7 manage crop residue. Start with the previous harvest straw chopper / chaff spreader No-till Fail mow or bale straw? Heavy harrow? Burn? Use row cleaners on drill?

8 Oilseed Crop Options Winter canola/rapeseed Spring canola Oriental mustard Yellow mustard Camelina

9 Other options Sunflower

10 Other options Safflower

11 Inland PNW Rainfall Inches of rainfall

12 Choice of Crop Irrigated Areas Winter canola Low rainfall wheat fallow Winter canola (deep furrow) Low rainfall annual crop Camelina Yellow mustard

13 Choice of Crop Intermediate Rainfall Spring Canola Oriental Mustard Yellow Mustard Camelina Winter canola (fallow) High Rainfall Spring Canola Oriental Mustard Winter canola (fallow)

14 Choice of Crop Canola versus Industrial Rapeseed? - same species, different oil quality - new rapeseed have edible meal Industrial Rapeseed - premium price in some years - be sure of your market

15 Crop and Variety Selection Commodity Price Seed Availability Seed Cost Herbicide Resistance Available Market Available Production Contracts

16 Canola Species Selection Brassica napus, B. rapa, or B. juncea?? B. napus Argentine canola Winter and spring types Highest yield potential Many varieties available

17 Canola Species Selection Brassica napus, B. rapa, or B. juncea?? B. rapa Polish canola Winter and spring Very early Shatter resistant No herbicide resistance B. juncea Canola-quality mustard Spring only Early Shatter tolerant Clearfield varieties

18 Herbicide-resistant canola Roundup Ready canola Roundup Herbicide Liberty Link canola Liberty Herbicide Clearfield canola Beyond Herbicide SU Resistant Canola Draft herbicide

19 Variety Performance

20

21 Weed Control Limited selection of herbicides Good agronomic practices Preplant control (burn down or tillage) Good plant establishment firm seed bed, packers on drill appropriate planting dates Competitive stand moderate seeding rate good insect control

22 Seed Quality Use Certified Seed reduce risk of blackleg and other diseases Check seed age and germination (seed tag) Use treated seed reduce losses to insects reduce diseases

23 It depends Seeding Rate

24 Seeding Rate Depends 200,000 to 400,000 seeds per acre 65,000 to 130,000 seeds per pound Winter 2-6 lbs/acre Spring 4-7 lbs/acre 3-5 lbs/acre Consider germination percentage - roughly ¼ pound per 5% non-germinating seed.

25 Rowspacing It doesn t matter

26 Rowspacing Winter Canola: 6 inches to 28 inches Spring Canola/Mustard: 6 inches to 15 inches

27 Photo provided by Dennis Roe

28 Photo provided by Tami and Michael Stubbs

29 Seeding Dates Spring Canola: March 15 to May 15 Wait for soils to warm up 45 o F and rising Winter Canola: After July 15? Before September 5 in most areas

30 Winter Canola: Seeding Dates After July 15? Before September 5 in most areas As late as you can while you still have moisture. saucer - dinner plate - cake platter

31 Seeding Prepare a firm seed bed, harrow or roll. Always seed into moisture. Pre-irrigate, then wait until crop is up. Depth can be ¾ to 1¼ inches. Slow down for good placement and a uniform depth.

32 Seeding Broadcast? - Risky! Use a small grain drill -box style or air seeder -disk, hoe or shank openers -packer wheels

33 Seeding Use a precision seed drill -very good control population spacing with the row -expensive

35 Next Fertility Weed control Disease control Insect control Harvest

36 Questions? Jim Davis

37 Herbicide-resistant canola Clearfield Canola / SU-Resistant Canola non-gmo fewer plant back restrictions Cleafield: tolerates IMI and SU carryover SU-Res: tolerates only SU carryover very common mode of action increases chance of resistant weeds Beyond herbicide / Draft herbicide

38 Herbicide-resistant canola Roundup Ready High yielding varieties (esp. spring) Broad spectrum weed control Cost? Over use of Roundup? GMO

39 Herbicide-resistant canola Liberty Link Top yielding spring varieties Alternate mode of action Weak on some grasses tank mix with grass herbicide Cost?
