Introduction
The purpose of the canola variety guide is to provide an easy format for farmers to
compare canola varieties. Comparative information about yield, oil and blackleg
resistance is included.
Information is provided for the following herbicide tolerance types; Triazine tolerant
(TT), Triazine tolerant combined with Roundup Ready® (TT-RR), Roundup Ready®
(RR) and Clearfield (CL).
All currently marketed herbicide tolerant canola varieties are included in this guide.
We have also included some older varieties, even though they are no longer
available from the licensees (ATR Cobbler, ATR Snapper, Tanami, Telferand
Jackpot TT). We have included these so farmers can compare their performance
with the newer varieties.
Inclusion in this guide does not mean that a variety is recommended by DAFWA.
The vast majority (87%) of the WA canola crop is triazine tolerant (TT). The area of
Roundup Ready® canola (RR) increased from 8% to 13% last year (see Table 1).
The most popular canola varieties grown last year were Crusher TT, ATR Stingray,
ATR Cobbler, Hyola 404RR and ATR Snapper. These five varieties made up over
70% of hectares sown to canola in the 2013/14 season (see Table 2).

Agzones.
Agzones have been developed to group together environmental regions that give
similar crop performance. The six Agzones are shown in Figure 1.
Agzone 1 is the northern medium and high rainfall area, including Mingenew and
Northampton. Agzone 2 is the northern/central medium rainfall area, including
Coorow, Northam and Wagin. Agzone 3 is the southern/central high and medium
rainfall areas including Williams and Kojonup. Agzone 4 is the north/central low
rainfall area, east of Mullewa and Merredin. Agzone 5 is the southern low and
medium rainfall area, including Newdegate and Salmon Gums. Agzone 6 is the
south coast high rainfall area, including Wellstead and Gibson.
Figure 1 Agzones of Western Australia
1. Yield and oil information (Tables 3, 6 and 7)
The yield and oil information is provided from the National Variety Trials Project
(NVT).
There are two series of NVT trials for canola, the early maturity series and midmaturity series. The early maturity trials are in the areas where early maturing
varieties are needed; in northern areas and in the lower rainfall areas of central and
southern areas (across Agzones 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5). Whereas the mid-maturity trials
are in the medium and high rainfall areas in central and southern areas (in Agzones
2, 3 and 6).
Breeding company representatives nominate which series their varieties are tested
in. Many varieties are in both early and mid-maturity trials.
The yield data presented is the predicted yield. Predicted yields are derived from the
long term multi environment trial data (MET), from 2009 to 2013. Tables 3, 6 and 7
show the predicted yield of each variety, relative to a ‘standard’ variety. For
example, in Table 1a, the triazine tolerant variety, ATR Stingray, has a predicted
Canola variety guide for WA 2015
[Type text]
Page 6
yield of 1.08 t/ha, in the early maturity NVT trials, in Agzone 1. The predicted yield of
ATR Bonito is 138%, compared with ATR Stingray, in the same zone (you can
calculate that the predicted yield of ATR Bonito is 1.49 t/ha).
The oil data presented is the average oil percentage from all trials, for each variety.
The number of trials is shown in each yield table. Data is less reliable where there
are only a few trials.
For further information about long term yields or individual NVT trial results, please
use NVT online at www.nvtonline.com.au.
2. Commercial and agronomic information (Tables 4, 5 and
8)
Open pollinated and hybrid canola
Open pollinated canola has relatively uniform genetics within a population and is
approximately 75% self-pollinating, so each generation mostly retains the
characteristics of the population. Retained seed is suitable to use for seeding.
Hybrid seed is produced by controlled cross pollination of two distinctly different
parent lines which produce hybrid seed (F1). Hybrids may show better performance
than either parent because of hybrid vigour.
Retaining seed from hybrids leads to variability in the next crop (F2) and has
negative effects on plant vigour, uniformity of plant height, uniformity of flowering,
blackleg resistance, lodging resistance, oil levels and all their combined effects on
reducing yields.
Blackleg
The blackleg information is provided from the GRDC Fact Sheet, 2014 Blackleg
Management Guide. Please refer to this for further information about the importance
of blackleg ratings, resistance groups and management of blackleg (search for 2014
blackleg management guide).
Genetically modified (GM) canola
All Roundup Ready® (RR) canola is genetically modified, including varieties that are
triazine tolerant with Roundup Ready®(TT+RR).
