New Canola’s Not Listed • 6060 RR – 115% yield, 2 days later maturing, slightly taller but with better lodging resistance compared to 45H21. • 1970 – 105% yield, maturity and lodging resistance compared to 45H21 not determined. • Most other newer lines tested are lower yielding than 45H21 under irrigation but data is limiting (1 or 2 site years).

Crop Agronomics Crop yields are a direct function of only 4 factors; Genetic inheritance of the seed Sunlight Water Nutrient acquisition All other agronomic inputs are simply prophylactic measures to protect biologic yield potential.

Mandatory or for Suggestion • Return to off-station research trials • Rationalization of some existing variety trials? • Expand agronomic studies; • Continue but expand seeding rate trials • Seeding rates, dates and fertility of corn • Biological control for sclerotinia • Variable rate irrigation • Seed treatments • Fungicide timing
Mandatory or for Suggestion • Rationalization of “Filler Blocks” • Secure funding grants or financial contributions for agronomic trials • Expanded information dissemination • Include corn varieties in “Crop Varieties for Irrigation”
