During the NDSU Extension Getting It Right virtual canola research production update meeting, Extension Agronomist Hans Kandel said canola yields have been increasing by just over 17 pounds per year. “The increase was encouraged by two things, the increase in management and the genetic potential.” Planting date remains a key component of high yielding canola. However, optimal planting dates vary by location. “We have planting dates from April to June, and the yield rates will vary by location as well. Carrington had high yields early season, and the trend also applies to Hettinger and Minot. Langon, however, is a bit more forgiving. The yield maintains stability during a good portion of the growing season.”
