A challenge that pitted the herbicide systems of a Clearfi eld® canola hybrid against a triazine canola variety produced a major difference in yield on the Lange property in Narrogin, Western Australia.

Braden Lange said it was the fi rst year of Clearfi eld® canola and put in areas of Pioneer® hybrid 43Y85 (CL) and Pioneer® hybrid 44Y84 (CL) alongside a range of triazine options.

The triazine canola included Crusher, Cobbler, Gem, Jackpot and Snapper.

Mr Lange said there was a marked difference in yield from 43Y85 (CL) and 44Y84 (CL) producing yields of around 1 tonne per hectare compared to the triazine tolerant varieties which yielded around 600 kilograms per hectare.

He said as well as the extra yield the grain sample of the Clearfi eld® hybrids was also signifi cantly better than some of the triazines.

“The biggest difference, as well as the 400 kilograms of yield, was the grain. One was very orange and a terrible sample with a huge amount of second small seeds, where the Y84 had a much more consistent seed size and a nice, black sample.”

Both the Clearfi eld® canola and triazine canola were treated identically from a nutrition perspective which made the yields even more amazing.

“All the TTs had the same, so 400 kilograms out of nothing. It is a marked difference. It certainly makes you think about what you are going to do next year to try and mix it up.”

The canola was sown in early May with the Clearfi eld® canola sown at a rate of 2 kilograms per hectare.

Triazine varieties were sown slightly higher at 2.5 kilograms per hectare.

Mr Lange said he was very impressed with the early growth of the Clearfi eld® canola when compared to the triazine varieties.

“The early growth has been fantastic and yield has been signifi cantly improved on opposition TT varieties.”

Intervix® herbicide was used as the post-emergent option and worked well when it was applied at the right time.

“It handled the brome grass and ryegrass fantastically. We didn’t have to spray underneath the windrow out here, so it took it out really well,” Mr Lange said.

Canola forms a major part of the rotation on the property and is generally planted every three years.

“It works better with our program. Usually we will grow a canola and put an oats or barley in afterwards. With the other organic components of the farm, canola fi ts in really well, where the cereals don’t work so well.

Clearfi eld® canola was trialled this year as another option and a different rotation.

“We had heard some people had some pretty special yields with them, so I thought we should give it a go,” Mr Lange said.

“I’m very impressed. It is going to be hard to consider the rotations with the TTs just to keep everything so we don’t have any resistance problems.

“Last year (2011) there was exceptional rainfall but it still only ended up at a tonne and a half average which was disappointing considering, but that was another reason we looked at the Clearfi elds®.

Clearfi eld® Challenge success at Narrogin

With the enthusiasm and optimism that we all need to have in this game, I am hoping 2013 is THE year for canola. A nice early break, consistent rain throughout the season and a frost-free, ‘soft’ fi nish is what I’m after!

2012 was defi nitely not the best year for canola but our Clearfi eld® and Roundup Ready® hybrids still managed to produce some great results throughout the state.

Our new 43Y23 (RR) is going into its fi rst full commercial year and from outstanding results in the fi rst two years across the state, demand for seed has been strong.

We also have a new Clearfi eld® hybrid, 45Y86 (CL) that has performed well in research and broad-acre trials in 2012 and will no doubt perform well in the paddock in 2013 to replace 46Y83 (CL).

Our trusty stable mate 44Y84 (CL), is still performing strongly and you will see some great results in the next few pages that show why it is a consistent best seller across Australia.

Best of luck for 2013 - the year for canola!

Huge difference between Clearfi eld® and triazine canola at Narrogin

A side-by-side comparison that was part of the 2012 Clearfi eld® Challenge saw a huge difference in profi tability between Clearfi eld® canola and triaze canola on the property of Ashley Weise, at Narrogin, in the southern wheat belt region of Western Australia.

Last season Mr Weise planted Pioneer® hybrid 44Y84 (CL) and Pioneer® hybrid 45Y82 (CL) and had them alongside Crusher TT in a Clearfi eld® Challenge comparison.

He said both looked impressive with 44Y84 (CL) probably performing best across the season. “I just think the triazines have knocked things around this year with the dry. They haven’t performed as well.”

At harvest 44Y84 (CL) produced a yield of 1.7 tonnes per hectare and 45 percent oil compared to Crusher TT at 1 tonne per hectare and 42 percent oil.

The Clearfi eld® Challenge was conducted in conjunction with Landmark agronomist Hilary Farr who took notes and inspected the crops throughout the season. The Clearfi eld® canola types were planted at just over 2 kilograms per

hectare compared to the Triazine canola types at 3 kilograms per hectare.

Mr Weise said the hybrid vigour of the canola helped set up yield.

“I was really impressed,” Mr Weise said. “We had a good early break and then it just never rained again for a fair while, but the hybrids just really powered away.”

Triazine tolerant canola has been the major type grown on the property for a number of seasons, but this year a decision was made to look at other herbicide tolerant options and at hybrid canola.

“I am rapt in the hybrids. We have had a tough year this year and I think it is going to be dramatic, the yield difference, probably almost double. Especially from some open pollinated TTs alongside the hybrids. I have never seen a bigger difference. We have some NVT trials a few paddocks away and it is just dramatic, the amount of bulk.”

Although the price of the hybrid seed is more expensive than the triazine variety seed, Mr Weise said he should cover that easily in most seasons.

“It has given me the confi dence in a bad, dry year that we are actually probably going to get our money back.”

Mr Page said in the heavier soil area the 44Y84 (CL) yielded 1.95 tonnes per hectare compared to the Thunder TT at 1.79 tonnes per hectare.

He said the lighter area produced lower yields but the difference between the two canolas was similar with the Clearfi eld comprehensively beating the triazine.

With those excellent results Mr Page took out the 2011 Western Australian Clearfi eld Challenge and recently came back from a tour of North America hosted by BASF and DuPont Pioneer.

He said the research facilities and pipeline of both BASF and DuPont Pioneer were real eye openers.

“The fi rst port of call was the DuPont Pioneer research station in Des Moines and that was incredible,” he said. “That blew us away.”

“The technology going around in those buildings and the automated greenhouse - they are just so far advanced to what I thought they would be.

“The people that are working there – they’ve got their fi nger on the pulse, they know what’s going on and they know what they need to be doing - and it is a good thing for us.

“We enjoyed an afternoon or two with the BASF people. They’ve got quite a good, young crew over there. I can see them, in the not too distant future, powering ahead of other companies.

“In both respects, with DuPont Pioneer and

BASF, we were probably overwhelmed with their knowledge and inspired by it too.”

Mr Page said he would encourage any farmer who had the opportunity to participate in the Clearfi eld Challenge next season to do so.

The success in 2011 meant 44Y84 (CL) represented a large portion of the 2012 plant on the property and was also identifi ed as a grazing option.

“After growing the 44Y84 (CL) we recognised that it was probably the right variety to start trying to graze the canola,” he said.

Mr Page, who runs Walwalling Lamb, which focuses on sustainable sheep production, planted 44Y84 (CL) in 2012 and compared a grazed and ungrazed area.

“We grazed this crop at 50DSE for two weeks and the sheep got a lot of feed off it.

“Looking at the plant density these plants have done extraordinarily well since they were grazed in their recovery period to seed set.

“I don’t know why we were so scared to graze canola in the past.

“This 24 hectare trial has pretty much proven to me that we are going to be doing this every year and it is going to be a massive benefi t to us in our grazing program.”

Clearfi eld® canola performed well on the property of Kane Page, at Pingelly, in the wheat belt region of Western Australia, in the year following his challenge win.

Mr Page was part of the 2011 Clearfi eld® Challenge and that season pitted Pioneer® hybrid 44Y84 (CL) canola alongside Thunder TT.

In 2011 on the Page property, yield comparisons were taken from two parts of the paddock with a heavier and lighter soil types chosen from the area.

Clearfi eld® canola a clear winner in DarkanA Clearfi eld® Canola Yield Challenge conducted on the Harrington property at Cordering, between Boyup Brook and Darkan in Western Australia, saw the highest yields and best gross margin from the Clearfi eld® option.

Tim Harrington said they planted Pioneer® hybrid 46Y86 (CL) canola in a side-by-side comparison with Crusher TT.

At harvest the 46Y86 (CL) yielded 2.61 tonnes per hectare with 45.90 per cent oil compared to Crusher TT at 2.44 tonnes per hectare and 44.4 per cent oil.

This equated to more than $150 per hectare extra profi t from the Clearfi eld® option.

The trial was conducted in conjunction with Ryan Wilkie from Landmark Darkan, and was placed on a forest gravel soil type on the property.

Mr Harrington said he had been keen to see the difference between the two canola options on a side-by-side basis.

“I started growing Clearfi eld® for the fact that the triazines were starting to come undone and I wanted to split up the rotation between Clearfi eld® herbicides and the triazines so I could make a bit more out of the rotation,” he said.

“About three years ago we had the largest planting of Clearfi eld® we had at 200 hectares. It was in the 2010 drought and it was still a very handy crop.”

He said canola was primarily a break crop and there were issues with broadleaf weeds in the rotation.

“What was happening with ryegrass in barley was happening to radish in canola. Radish will be far worse than ryegrass ever will be,” he said.

The Intervix® herbicide has worked well on the property in controlling radish and other problem weeds.

“I haven’t got a lot of group B resistance as such,” he said. “Another reason I am using Intervix® is for brome grass, which, in non-wetting gravels, in rotation, is starting to sneak up as a bit of a problem. Intervix® seems to be working fairly well on brome grass.”

Mr Harrington said the Clearfi eld® canola was sown at 2 kilograms per hectare compared to the triazine varieties at 4 kilograms per hectare.

46Y86 (CL) is a hybrid canola and showed

superior vigour and early establishment in the side-by-side comparison.

“They were very good for biomass early. The hybrid vigour and the early biomass smother the weeds a lot more than an open-pollinated TT variety. That is a good thing,” Mr Harrington said.

The crop rotation on the property has mainly been focused around canola and barley in the past, although issues with radish have meant the rotation includes two cereal crops and a canola crop in more recent times.

Mr Harrington said their fi ve to ten year average was 1.7 tonnes per hectare from canola.

Clearfi eld® hybrid technology has found an excellent place on the property of Mark Fowler, at Williams, in the wheat belt of Western Australia.

In previous years, triazine tolerant varieties were the major canola type grown on the property, but this has moved to 100 per cent hybrids and a good area of Clearfi eld®.

Hybrids were fi rst tried in 2010 and paid for themselves despite the tough conditions.

“We then started growing Clearfi eld® hybrids the year after that and have been pleased with them,” Mr Fowler said.

While there was still a place for triazine tolerant canola on the property, Clearfi eld® types have a better fi t after hay.

“We are fi nding brome is becoming more of an issue. So it cleans up the volunteer oats, which there is always a certain amount of following hay and it obviously gives us that degree of radish control as well.”

Mr Fowler said the vigour from the Clearfi eld® hybrids was notable and they seemed to be yielding similarly to the Roundup Ready® canola in the district.

The hybrids were planted at a rate of 2.4 kilograms per hectare which is down on the 4 kilograms per hectare for triazine tolerant varieties.

“We scratched our head and thought can we do two and a half kilos? A lot of people with their Clearfi elds® have mixed in some TT and then sprayed it out to try to achieve that rate, but we held our nerve and we are pretty pleased with the results.”

“We seem to be able to get the air seeder to hit that mark and it has actually been better than what I thought it would be,” Mr Fowler said. “We have had excellent establishment in the last two years.”

The main Clearfi eld® canola grown on the property last season was Pioneer® hybrid

45Y82 (CL) and Pioneer® hybrid 46Y83 (CL).

“46Y83 has looked magic through the whole of the season. It established well and had great vigour. The 45Y82 has surprised me a bit because at the end it looked at least as good.”

Clearfi eld® hybrids continue to perform at Williams

A new short season canola hybrid has excelled under tough conditions on the property of Don Nairn, at Binnu, one hour north of Geraldton in Western Australia.

Mr Nairn planted the Pioneer® hybrid 43Y85 (CL) canola commercially and also as part of a Clearfi eld® Challenge which pitted it against the triazine tolerant Tribune TT canola.

In a very challenging year the 43Y85 (CL) yielded 0.902 tonnes per hectare and 40.8 per cent oil content compared to Tribune TT at 0.439 tonnes per hectare and 39.9 per cent oil.

Gross margins on the crop were also signifi cant with the 43Y85 (CL) producing a profi t of $218.40 compared to Tribune TT at $63.22.

In the side-by-side comparison the Clearfi eld canola produced more than $150 per hectare in extra profi t.

This excellent Clearfi eld® Challenge result replicated the previous season’s comparison in which Mr Nairn pitted 44Y84 (CL) against Tanami TT.

In the better seasonal conditions of 2011, 44Y84 (CL) was the higher yielding canola at 1.95 tonnes per hectare, compared to Tanami at 1.38 tonnes per hectare.

Mr Nairn said the ability of the Pioneer Clearfi eld® canola hybrids to outperform Triazine tolerant varieties had been demonstrated clearly on the property.

“We lost a lot of money growing TT last year,” he said. “We got that wrong. It was a massive difference and we had that across a couple of paddocks, it wasn’t just one paddock.”

He said canola had begun to play an increasingly bigger part of the rotation in recent years due to yield and vigour from

the hybrids and the ability of the Clearfi eld® herbicide, Intervix®, to control problem weeds.

“They just get out and grow really quick and when they are grazed off, they recover very quickly. It is a good option. It offers a lot of feed at a really critical time if you are running stock. What I have seen in the last three years gives me enough confi dence to keep doing what I am doing with hybrids.”

Mr Nairn said the paddock, in which the Clearfi eld® Challenge had been grown in 2012, had a bad history of radish but remained clean throughout the season with one spray of Intervix® herbicide.

In comparison, the radish control through the triazine tolerant canola was not as good.

“Well that is the maximum amount of triazine you can use on that and it was all sprayed on the one day and one is clean and one’s not. The option for me is huge, for my farm, in regards to cleaning up the radish. I grow canola because I want to get rid of radish. If I grow canola and I have got radish, it is not going to help my rotation.”

Mr Nairn said he thought the new 43Y85 (CL) was a good maturity for the area and performed well in a year that saw little summer rainfall and just 165mm of rain during the growing season.

“Given the amount of rainfall that we have had, I think it is probably the best crop we have ever grown, for the rainfall. I think we have got out of jail, a little way.”
