Canola TV - Canola Test Plots with PCOM
Thu, 13 Oct 2011 13:40:07 CDT
In this latest edition of Canola TV, Gene Neuens and Heath Sanders are in the field near Grandfield, Okla., planting a variety of winter canola demonstration and test plots. Producers Cooperative Oil Mill, Oklahoma State University and the Oklahoma Oilseed Commission are working together on these canola plots so they can host field tours in the spring.
Sanders says they are hoping to plant up to 10 plots in this area, if not more. Also, this year they are testing a variety of conventional canola versus no-till canola. Sanders says this will allow them to get a better idea of which practice is most beneficial for producers.
Sanders adds that they are also adding a sulfur and boron treatment to look at the necessity of sulfur and boron in Oklahoma canola fields.
Overall, Sanders says they hope to be able to discuss and talk about the results and what they have experienced and learned from these demonstration and test plots next spring.
