1 Sunflower and Canola Production Issues Hans Kandel, NDSU Extension Agronomist Canola Growth Stages 1. Seedling 2. Rosette 3. Bud 4. Flowering (Bloom) 5. Ripening Canola Production Spring Planting Time Optimum is early in planting window Cool season crop Better yields with cool weather at flowering Fewer flea beetles Frost tolerant Lower green seed percentage Canola Production 8 14 plants per square foot optimum stand Seeding rate 5 lb/a Seed size varies 90,000/lb ( Hybrids) 140,00/lb (Open Pollinated) Plant 1/2 to 1 deep 6 to 12 row width Canola Cultivar Types Weed management Conventional declining Numbers Specialty Oil typesanticipate a slowly growing market Roundup Resistant increasing numbers Liberty Resistant Clearfield (IMI) Cultivar genetics Open pollinated mostly self pollinated, options decreasing Hybrid mostly cross pollinated. Has hybrid vigor, Options increasing Synthetic Becoming more common. Less than 80% hybrid seed. Rest is OP seed of the male parent ½ Agronomist hans.kandel@ndsu.edu 1
