Canola seeding rates may require adjusting under certain conditions to optimize plant populations and maximize yields, according to research.
Seeding rates may need to be increased when seeding at a later seeding date, when high average temperatures or low precipitation are observed before seeding, or expected after seeding.
The Canola Council of Canada recommends targeting a canola plant population of five to eight plants per square foot to balance yield potential and economics.
