| | Canola - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The canola blossom is a major source of nectar for honeybees. | | | In agriculture, Canola is a trademarked cultivar of the rapeseed plant from which rapeseed oil is obtained. | | | Today about 75% of the Canola crops planted in Alberta, Manitoba, and Saskatchewan are herbicide-tolerant varieties. |

| | Canola |
| | Canola is usually seeded with the small seed attachment of a grain drill to a depth of 1/2 to 1 inch. | | | As with small grains, the weed control in canola is primarily from the crop itself. | | | Canola requires approximately 16 to 18 inches of water through its growing season, with 8 to 8.3 inches used by annual varieties in July near flower and pod fill. |

| | Growing Canola: Production tips, economics, and more |
| | Canola is harvested much like winter wheat by using a platform (all-crop) grain head. | | | Canola seed is usually treated with a fungicide to avoid seedling diseases. | | | Canola is rapidly gaining acreage as a rotation alternative with small grains and other crops. |

| | Floridata: Brassica napus |
| | Canola seed is either broadcast at 20 pounds (9 kg) per acre, or planted in rows 28 in (71 cm) apart at four pounds (1.8 kg) per acre. | | | Theoretically, a field of canola could be planted and harvested between October and April, on the same ground that a summer crop such as peanuts or cotton is grown. | | | Canola, a selected genetic variant of rape, was developed in the late 1970's in Manitoba, Canada, as a more nutritious source of vegetable oil than rapeseed. |

| | Canola is a difficult crop to feed into the combine but it is an easy crop to thresh. | | | Spring canola is gaining increasing acceptance as a specialty crop to be grown in rotation with Montana's traditional small grain and forage crops in the cooler farming environments of Montana. | | | Canola is a cool-season crop which can be planted on a variety of soils. |

| | GENE TRANSFER BETWEEN CANOLA (BRASSICA NAPUS L.) AND RELATED WEED SPECIES |
| | The susceptible canola border was planted using a mixture of seed from three canola cultivars (`Legend', `Westar' and `Helios') each with a different flowering time to ensure synchronous flowering with resistant genotypes in the center. | | | At harvest, weed plants and canola plants were separated by hand and the seed from each threshed separately. | | | In these studies, glufosinate resistant canola lines were planted in the center of a 62 m, square border, of non-resistant canola. |

| | Fertilizing Mustard and Canola |
| | Canola takes up sulfate-S. The form of sulfur fertilizer may be ammonium sulfate (21-0-0-24S) or another available sulfate fertilizer such as ammonium thiosulfate, potassium thiosulfate and other sources. | | | Following canola harvest, cut canola stems may continue to bud and regrow into small plants if they are deficient in sulfur. | | | Sulfur deficiency in canola at flowering, late flowering. |

| | And canola plants first used to cleanse or detoxify high-selenium soil or drainage water might next be sold as a value-added feed for livestock in regions where soils don't provide enough of this nutrient. | | | Forage made from the crop is a desirable feed for farm animals because it has about as much protein as alfalfa, a premier forage and hay crop. | | | The study was likely the first to use, as an animal feed or supplement, canola that had been grown specifically for the task of pulling naturally occurring selenium from the soil. |

| | NEXUS: The Great Canola Con |
| | Pollen from Monsanto's patented GE canola seeds blew onto his land from neighbouring farms; unlike grains, rape and canola plants spread their pollen on the wind. | | | Consumer acceptance of canola oil represents one in a series of victories for the food processing industry, which has as its goal the replacement of all traditional foods with imitation foods made out of products derived from corn, wheat, soybeans and oilseeds. | | | The first seed oil to be created through genetic manipulation, canola is also the focus of a variety of genetic engineering/modification (GE/GM) projects in which genetic material from other species is inserted into the seeds in order to magnify certain traits in the resultant plant. |

| | Canola yields can also be affected by a variety of insect problems, for which the remedy is often aerial spraying, and a fungus problem just prior to harvest called Sclerotinia. | | | Canola was the first crop created modern plant breeding methods. | | | Also, Canola is the first crop in Canada to receive a license for "transgenic" varieties - plants altered with genetic material from other plants or animals. |

| | CANOLA |
| | The spores can be produced not only in canola fields, but also in fields of other crops, including small grains. | | | A fungicide is more likely to be needed if canola is on tight rotations (three years or less) or if other susceptible crops were in the rotation. | | | As canola petals die and fall onto lower portions of the plant, any spores on the dead petals may germinate and begin to grow if the canopy stays wet for long periods of time. |

| | In 2002, 63 percent of canola crop plantings were biotech varieties — up significantly from 4 percent in 1996 when the first biotech canola crop was planted, according to the Canola Council of Canada. | | | Wheat, barley, flax, peas and canola are the mainstay crop rotations with canola, both conventional and biotech varieties, representing on average one-third of his total acreage in a given year. | | | For Dalgarno, weed control for conventional canola costs in the range of $30 to $50 per acre, using a variety of herbicides: one to control broadleaf and grassy weeds, another for heavy weed infestations, yet another to control Canada thistle, and so on. |

| | Canola is, in fact, Canada's most widely used oil. | | | The popularity of canola oil is rising fast in the United States, probably because it's been discovered to be lower in saturated fat (about 6 percent) than any other oil. | | | It's commonly referred to there as lear oil, for "low erucic acid rapeseed" oil. |
