NEW CANOLA VARIETY RELEASE
CB™ Argyle – The Golden Canola
This coming season 2008-09, Canola Breeders will be releasing the new variety CB™ Argyle, which will perform well in the medium to high rainfall areas (350 mm +). This follows on the success Canola Breeders has had in breeding for low rainfall areas, and growers will recognise the canola variety names CB™ Tanami and CB™ Boomer.
CB™ Argyle is a mid to late flowering, triazine tolerant open pollinated (TTOP®) variety, with high oil content and good blackleg resistance.
CB™ Argyle is looking very promising in the higher rainfall canola market. In 2007 the variety performed very well in National Variety Trials (NVT). CB™ Argyle is high yielding with leading performances in WA, VIC and NSW in the 2007 mid TT NVT trials.
In a new yield analysis, CB™ Argyle was top or equal top in mid-season triazine tolerant trials in Western Australia, South Australia, and Victoria. Yield of CB™ Argyle was 108% of Tornado TT in WA and SA, 110% in NSW and 112% in Victoria. This result is published in the Grains Research Development Corporation (GRDC) and NVT publication: “Multi-environment trial analysis for the Australian National Variety Testing system.”
Canola Breeders are very excited about the release of CB™ Argyle. Look out for CB™ Argyle in demonstration plots in your area, and in NVT results this year. CB™ Argyle is ready for planting in 2009, so get your orders in early.
