• Planted in 5 different locations

• 3 Carinata varieties + Canola rivette

– Agrisoma 110996EM

– Agrisoma 044-312D

– PG584 – NZ seed

– Canola rivette

Farming

• Sowing date: 15/may - 13/june

– 2 cm deep

– 38 cm between rows

– Pre emergence - Trifluralina

– Fertilization:

NPK (18:46) 100kg/ha sowing / 1,5 month NS

Farming

• Rainfalls

6

– Below average in the first month

• The emergence was delay, many plants were lost

– In August it began raining

• High levels in 2 weeks, lost yields in areas

• with bad drainage

• Temperatures

– 2 frosts (- 9°c) events affect negative

Harvesting

Harvesting

• 100% of the area direct mechanized harvesting

– Non swathing

– Desiccant application

– Common equipment used as other crops (soybean, wheat, barley, others)

• Harvesting date: Carinata 1-Dec; Canola 15 to 20 days earlier

Comments and room for improvement

15

• Sowing date– 2015 we planted too late

– Target - end of April

• Weed control– Ok Trifluralina for pre emergence

– To be defined for post emergence control

• Trials with the Agronomy University will be set 2016

• Fertilization– Trials with the Agronomy University will be set 2016

– Actually using canola recommendation

• Harvesting– Options for new desiccant

– Target – to optimized cycle length in order not to use desiccant
