WINTER CANOLA THAT DELIVERS EXCEPTIONAL PERFORMANCE
“Five years ago we planted 300 acres of CROPLAN ® winter canola. It did so well that the following year we planted 750 acres of it. The CROPLAN ® varieties we planted overwinter much better than other varieties. We were very thankful for that this year, when many growers took a hit on their canola stands due to the cold weather.” 1

YOUR CROPLAN® SEED AGRONOMIST HAS THE EXPERTISE, TOOLS AND SERVICES TO HELP YOU MATCH THE RIGHT WINTER CANOLA TRAITS AND GENETICS TO EACH FIELD FOR OPTIMAL YIELD POTENTIAL.Choosing the best winter canola for your field is one of several key
decisions that can affect your profit potential. Winter canola is a
proven rotational crop that improves weed control in winter wheat for
Oklahoma, Kansas, Texas and the Pacific Northwest. Your CROPLAN®
seed agronomist has the expertise to help take the stress out of
planting canola for the first time or to help experienced farmers strive
for an extra 200-pound yield over last year’s crop.
THE RIGHT GENETICSCROPLAN® seed has been committed to the winter canola industry
for more than 13 years, and we continue to provide trusted solutions.
WinField seeks partnerships for CROPLAN® seed worldwide, always
searching for new opportunities to supply some of the best-yielding
canola genetics in the industry. Our goal is to provide top genetics
that help strengthen your bottom-line potential and help reduce risk.
Extensive testing and screening by CROPLAN® seed agronomists and
through the Answer Plot® Program help us determine the best seed
options for your fields. Because every year is different, planting more
than one type of variety and spreading out maturities can decrease
the risks of heat damage at peak flower and reduced pollination due to
heavy rain or hail. Intense workloads when all acres are ready to swath
or harvest at one time can also be minimized by planting varieties with
different maturities. WinField is making a significant expansion in the
winter canola Answer Plot® Program by adding eight locations in the
2013–2014 season.
COMPARE PERFORMANCE AT YOUR LOCAL ANSWER PLOT® EVENTCheck out your local Answer Plot® Program to see how CROPLAN®
canola varieties respond to a range of crop nutrient and crop
protection scenarios under conditions just like yours. Each Answer
Plot® event offers a hands-on learning experience packed with
information about the latest products and technologies. You’ll leave
with useful information you can put to work in your fields.

TIPS ON CANOLA ROW SPACINGProper row spacing is important when
planting canola. The most common spacing
is 6 to 10 inches, whether with older drills
or new air seeders. This method gives
the fastest ground cover, helping with
weed control, and is often higher-yielding.
Another method is plugging every other
row of the seeder, making 12- to 20-inch
rows. This method can help increase stand
establishment. In Answer Plot® trials, we
have not seen a significant yield reduction
when using 7.5- to 15-inch rows. Using a
planter and seeding in 30-inch rows — often
used with row cleaners — is another option.
In heavy trash and no-till fields, this can
mean the difference between achieving or
not achieving a stand. With 30-inch rows,
reducing the seeding rate to around 4 pounds
per acre helps reduce seedling crowding
and decreases crown height, improving
survivability through the winter. The downside
of 30-inch rows is that there is often a
significant yield reduction.
After emergence, it’s important to assess
each field’s plant population. Start by
checking a minimum of five spots in the
field. To do this, place a hoop that measures
5 square feet on the ground in five different
areas of the field. Count the number of live
plants within the hoop at each location. This
will help you assess 25 square feet across
the field. To make your own hoop for this
test, cut a 95-inch piece of ½-inch hose and
connect the ends to form a circle.
KEY POINTS
1
Straw managementshould start with wheat harvest methods prior to seeding canola.
3
Vertical tillage equipment has been successful at improving the seedbed.
5
Slow down when planting to the 4 mph range, and place seed at 1/2 to 1 inch deep in good moisture.
7
Thick straw oftenincreases the crown height, significantly decreasing winter survival (often called high leg, see picture below).
2
Seed-to-soil contact is very important with a small-seeded crop of canola.
4
Increasing seedingrate with lower seed survivability conditions at planting is recommended.
6
No-till practice increases the seeding rate to help ensure seed survival.
THE RIGHT SOIL TYPE
THE RIGHT PLANT POPULATION
Placing canola varieties in the right soil type helps them reach their optimal yield potential. Pick fields that are well-drained, because standing
water is tough on young seedlings. When selecting fields, try to avoid pH lower than 5.5; the lower pH hurts germination and winter survival.
Some varieties, such as HyCLASS® 115W, have more tolerance to low pH soils. With highly productive soils or irrigation, HyCLASS® 125W and
HyCLASS® 154W are great options.
Low plant populations with stands that are too light can potentially cause yield loss and weed-control problems. Recent evaluations at Answer
Plot® trials have led us to recommend a seeding rate of 5 pounds per acre. The goal is to establish 10 live plants per square foot, with a normal
range of eight to 12 plants per square foot.

INSECT THREATSIt is important to scout fields for insect
pressure. In the fall, look for diamondback
moth larvae. (Be sure to look closely: They
blend in well, because their color is close to
that of canola leaves.) In late winter until the
crop reaches maturity, check for green peach
aphids, turnip aphids and cabbage aphids.
InterLock® adjuvant is recommended here,
because thorough coverage is critical. It is
especially important to assess fields when
canola breaks dormancy.

THE RIGHT CROPPING SYSTEM
THE RIGHT CROP PROTECTION
THE RIGHT HARVEST TIME
Winter canola acreage is increasing quickly because as a rotation crop, canola can help improve wheat quality and yields. Changing to different
crops helps eliminate problems such as grassy weeds that stem from continuous wheat. Wheat crops have become increasingly challenged by
yield-robbing pests that reduce the quality and price of wheat. Grassy weeds, including cheat, downy brome, rescue grass, jointed goatgrass,
feral rye and Italian ryegrass, are becoming more difficult to control. Using existing equipment, farmers can rotate to winter canola and manage
these grassy weeds with different herbicides, disrupting the cycle and increasing yield potential for wheat crops.
At the one- to two-leaf stage, canola has little ability to compete with weeds. However, at the six-leaf stage, canola becomes an excellent
competitor. Therefore, it’s important to spray weeds early. With the Genuity® Roundup Ready® system, two Roundup® applications will keep fields
clean and provide high yield potential. Making the first application in the fall at the two-leaf stage, followed by a spring application after weeds
start actively growing, will control weeds this year and reduce the weed seed bank in the future. The spring application controls more weeds
when done before the new canola growth blocks the Roundup® from reaching the newly emerging weed seedlings.
Swathing is the most common procedure for preparing the crop for the combine. Canola has
reached its highest yield potential and is ready to swath when 60 percent of the individual
seeds change color from green to brown or black on the main stem. Establishing uniform
stands in the fall makes it easier to choose the best time to start swathing. When swathing,
it’s important that the swath roller push down any loose branches to anchor them and keep
them from blowing and shattering, so yield potential is not lost.
Canola is considered dry and ready to harvest at 10 percent moisture. Because of its stem
texture, canola plants do not absorb as much moisture as wheat plants, so they dry faster
than wheat following a rain. Check canola frequently as it is often ready to harvest earlier than
wheat. When combining canola seed, be sure the tiny seeds are not falling through the seams
of the combine and back onto your field. Use duct tape or caulk to seal up seams and help
keep losses to a minimum.

BORON FOR INCREASED NUTRIENT MOVEMENTBoron is a soil-mobile nutrient that can
move out of the root zone when there is a
heavy rain. MAX-IN® Boron foliar-sprayed in
the fall can help strengthen seedling canola
that is entering dormancy, thus improving
winter survivability. MAX-IN® Boron can be
beneficial when applied in the spring prior
to bolting.
SULFUR RANKS HIGHLow sulfur poses a serious threat in canola
production. This nutrient is just as important
as nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium for
canola. Ammonium sulfate is the preferred
source for this vital nutrient. To ensure
canola has adequate sulfur, apply 20 to 30
pounds of actual sulfur in the sulfate form.
Contact your local agronomist to help you
identify and correct nutrient deficiencies with
tissue sampling and NutriSolutions® analysis.
MANAGING NUTRIENTS WITH THE SEEDWhile it may be appealing to apply nutrients
at seeding to save on application costs,
use caution, because canola is sensitive to
fertilizer salts. Broadcasting nutrients prior
to seeding is the safest method.

THE RIGHT TRAITSThe CROPLAN® seed brand offers two herbicide-tolerant system
choices to match your cropping plans.
GENUITY® ROUNDUP READY®
• Clean and easy weed control
• Strong on cheat, feral rye and other tough grasses
• Optimal control with Class Act® NG® and InterLock® adjuvants
GENUITY® ROUNDUP READY® PLUS SULFONYLUREA RESIDUAL TOLERANCE (SURT®) • Allows canola to be planted in soil with sulfonylurea residual
In field trials, SURT® (sulfonylurea residual tolerant) products have
demonstrated the ability to be grown on fields where a long-residual
sulfonylurea herbicide was applied on the previous wheat crop and
would be detrimental to canola growth.
It is critical to review the crop protection history of previous
wheat crops grown in fields being planted with canola. Canola is
susceptible to many broadleaf herbicides that have a long residual
life. Sulfonylurea products such as Ally®, Glean®, Finesse®, Amber® and
others affect canola development at low carryover rates.
THE RIGHT PLANT NUTRITIONWith volatile crop and fertilizer prices, it can be tempting to cut costs and still hope to achieve optimal yields. The fertility required for a
2,000-pound canola crop (including residual soil fertility identified through soil tests and applied fertilizer) is 100 to 130 pounds of nitrogen,
50 pounds of phosphorus, 100 pounds of potassium and 30 pounds of sulfur. Limit high rates of nitrogen applications to help keep the crop
crown low to the ground. Applying some nitrogen can be beneficial, but using too much will make the plant grow too quickly, encouraging
winterkill. January or February is a good time to apply fertilizer to crops; as applying it too late can limit the plant’s yield potential.
