Optimising profitability in non-GM canola with novel ryegrass control methods (AGR4726)

START

July 1, 2026

FINISH

June 30, 2028

Summary

Genetically modified (GM) canola provides generally excellent ryegrass control with the options currently available. However, the price received for GM canola is generally lower than that of non-GM. This project aims to explore a range ryegrass control options in non-GM canola with the aim of achieving similar levels of control to GM canola but achieving higher profitability via increased price received for grain.
