Hyola Innovation Winter Canola Graze n Grain by Nitrogen Rate Results

As the cropping area of Graze n Grain Winter type canola increases significantly across Australia, (now estimated at 200,000ha) coupled with extraordinary dual-purpose gross returns from the combined grazing and grain components, growers and advisors are seeking more scientific-based information around some Nitrogen rate strategic comparisons across one and two grazing events. Growers and advisors have been trying to find a balance across different paddocks and seasons between Nitrogen rate applications and timings, biomass dry matter production, and plant height and how these factors are affected by grazing events on final grain yield, and gross returns. Outside of using growth regulators, this research investigated how different nitrogen rate strategies interacted with grazed vs ungrazed canola across multiple growing environments.

The following are links to research undertaken by Pacific Seeds into this field and provides detailed analysis, results and outcomes at each specific site.
