Canola Northern Region - GrowNotes™
Published: 1 Mar 2017
Canola refers to the seed and oil that is produced by several cultivars of the rape plant, generally cultivars of either rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) or field mustard/turnip rape (Brassica rapa subsp. oleifera, syn. B. campestris L.).
Canola is the most important oilseed and broadleaf rotation crop in Australia and the third-largest grain crop overall, worth $2 billion in 2013–14. It can be highly profitable in its own right but also provides important rotational benefits for the control of cereal diseases and weeds.
