Frost Damage ID In Canola

Published: Oct. 21, 2020, midnight

b'Frost damage to Canola is a significant annual issue for the nation\\u2019s grains industry. Spring frosts in particular are the most economically damaging for growers as crop yields and quality are developing at this time. \\n\\nIn this podcast NSW DPI crop physiologist and frost researcher Dr Rajneet Uppal discusses when and where to search within a canola crop for frost damage, how to identify pod damage and recommendation for minimising frost risk generally. \\n\\nDr Uppal\\u2019s work is being conducted as part of the NSW DPI and GRDC Grains Agronomy and Pathology Partnership (GAPP). Her work is pioneering infield testing methodologies to help better understand the impacts; single and multiple frost events occurring at different growth stages in canola have on grain production. \\n\\nContact: \\nDr Rajneet Uppal, Crop physiologist \\nNSW Department of Primary Industries \\nWagga Wagga Agricultural Institute \\n0403 896 513 \\nrajneet.uppal@dpi.nsw.gov.au \\n\\nUseful resources: https://grdc.com.au/resources-and-publications/all-publications/publications/2019/frost-identification-guide-for-canola-and-pulses https://youtu.be/6uruleESKk8 https://grdc.com.au/resources-and-publications/grdc-update-papers/tab-content/grdc-update-papers/2019/02/effect-of-heat-stress-on-canola-grain-yield-and-quality\\nLearn more about your ad choices.
