Choose canola seed varieties based on comprehensive and objective data. For the big picture, check the Prairie Canola Variety Trials. For more details on weed control, disease resistance and yeild potential, go to POD – the Performance Online Database.

Use the site map to identify the closest growing zone to your operation. Compare each variety to the check variety. Look at yield and information on characteristics such as maturity, resistance to lodging and blackleg resistance to choose the best varieties for your farm.
