Great Plains Canola Research Program Since 1994, $2.309 million of NCRP funds invested in the region.
The Project Directors allows the individual subcontractors to determine how to divide funding. A significant amount supports the
longstanding regional variety testing network.
Performance testing is critical for the development, evaluation, and release of new, better-adapted winter canola varieties.
Today, the region’s highest priorities remain variety development and new crop production research.

Research ObjectivesThe long-term goal of this multi-state, multidisciplinary project is to facilitate the adoption of winter canola as a viable rotational crop for the Great Plains and the southern High Plains. Researchers have the goal of significantly increasing canola production and/or acreage by developing and testing superior germplasm, improving methods of production, and transferring new knowledge to producers. The following supporting objectives guide the program. Continue the evaluation and development of high-yielding, locally adapted canola cultivars for the region Improve canola production systems in the region by addressing agronomic management issues Extend production and marketing technology for canola through appropriate, coordinated technology transfer programs

Outreach/Extension “Riley Winter Canola” published in the Journal of Plant
Registrations. “Effects of planting date and tillage on winter canola” was published
by the Plant Management Network. Over 300 producers and ag professionals attended the 8th annual
Canola Production Conference in Enid and Lawton, OK. KSU conducted 3 radio broadcasts and wrote 7 Department of
Agronomy e-Updates on insect pests, harvest management, profitability, seeding, and varieties.
KSU canola agronomists participated in 9 spring field days and 2 fall field days in 2012.
Seven winter canola risk management schools were held from August 2012 to March 2013 with over 225 in attendance.
KSU is conducting 8 canola tours/field days in spring 2013. Hosting the spring 2013 Great Plains Canola Association board
meeting at KSU.

2011 season was extremely stressful with low rainfall, record cold temperatures, strong winds, and late spring frost.
At all irrigation levels, wheat extracted more water than canola at the planting to regrowth and regrowth to flowering stages.
Canola extracted more water than wheat in a dry year at the flowering to maturity stage. Flowering most critical stage
for water demand. Root growth up until flowering
and pod fill.

Water is most limiting factor, but stresses at critical stages have been challenging. 2009 – Average year with
late spring blizzard 2010 – Wet year 2011 – Dry year with late
spring frost Wheat yields were generally
higher than canola, but were closer to equal in 2011.
Above ground biomass for canola was equal to wheat in 2009 and 2011.
Harvest index similar to wheat in 2010.
Oil yield was similar for the two cultivars except for 2011 because of late freeze.

Texas AgriLife Extension – Lubbock High elevation, limited
rainfall and irrigation. Excellent yield potential.

Cabbage aphids are a major concern in the spring – 3 sprays in 2012.
Interest in dual-purpose, forage and grain, canola. Possibility of ADM canola crusher in Lubbock exists. Water efficient crops are desperately needed.

Texas AgriLife Research – Vernon Cooperator since 1994
Excellent potential for production under irrigation (3,000 lb/a) Most producers are interested in planting canola in a rotation and
future research is warranted showing benefits of canola as a rotational option. Tillage, planting date, seeding rate, and fertility requirements. Improved glyphosate resistant varieties. Extension efforts lacking because of the loss of a specialist (OSU helps). Marketing outlets and information are needed.

University of Nebraska-Lincoln (1994-present) Winter survival is very critical for adaptation to western NE
Panhandle. Lack of snow cover, high winds, and geese have negatively affected
survival during the winter. New cultivars and advanced breeding lines, developed at KSU, have
shown above average winter survival. Agronomic research on establishing winter canola under dryland
conditions is the critical research need. Establishment study started in 2011/12 and continued in
2012/13. 4 treatments (no-till, minimum till, stale seedbed, and full
tillage). Drought reduced stands and the trial was not taken to harvest.
Development of a local marketing system is the critical need for increasing canola production in western NE.
32
Cooperator since 2001 High elevation, low rainfall. Biggest obstacle is stand establishment in the fall. Critical GPCVT location for variety development on the High Plains.

Implications Canola acres are increasing in the southern Great
Plains. Agronomic research and variety testing are fostering
expansion and critical for the future. As a general rule, yield potential is greater than the
national average. Huge potential for winter canola acreage growth under
limited irrigation. More information on winter canola water use efficiency is
needed. SACC grant funding is critical for growth in the
southern Great Plains.
34
Next Steps Maintain the level of support and increase it if
possible. Continue to work with individual investigators
to meet the needs for growers across the broader Great Plains region.
Engage stakeholders from across a diverse region. Utilize the Great Plains Canola Association.
Engage investigators more in writing the grant proposal.
