Project Goals • Facilitate the adoption of winter canola as an agronomically and economically viable rotation crop in the southern Great Plains (SGP) • To stimulate winter canola acreage and production increases in the region, the project will focus on the high priority areas – Development and testing of superior cultivars – Improve methods of production – Transfer of new knowledge to producers
• Metrics of success – – – –
Increase in planted acres Testing and release of new cultivars with yields above the national average Improve consistency of production using best management practices Attendance, participation, and feedback at extension activities
Objectives 1.
2.
3.
Develop and evaluate high-yielding and regionally adapted winter canola cultivars. Priority traits include: winter survival, tolerance to sulfonylurea herbicide carryover, tolerance to post-emergence applications of glyphosate herbicide, yield, oil quality and quantity, hybrid parent lines, and blackleg (Leptosphaeria maculans) resistance. Improve canola cropping systems by addressing agronomic management issues. Management studies include: crop establishment seeding rate and row spacing, irrigation management, crop rotation, harvest management, herbicide efficacy, fungicide and growth regulator use, on-farm testing, and crop modeling in DSSAT. Deliver cultivar and agronomic management technologies to new and experienced canola growers through appropriate extension programs. These multifaceted programs involve participation by faculty, industry personnel, grower organizations, and producers. Methods of delivery may include, but are not limited to, field days, field tours, risk management schools, extension and journal publications, professional society meetings, agronomy updates, radio and television interviews, web-based applications, peer-to-peer interactions, and social media updates via Twitter and Facebook.
