2009 PCVT Trial Results
November 17, 2009
The Prairie Canola Variety Trials (PCVT) are conducted by the Canola Council of Canada (CCC) as a service to you, the grower. Entry by companies into PCVT is voluntary. The PCVT primarily features commercially available varieties, though some may not be widely available at time of printing.
The PCVT is all about comparing genetics under standard plots, a standardized protocol, and the same environmental conditions. The 2009 trials were conducted by seed companies, government researchers, and independent contractors in three growing season zones across the prairies – short, mid, and long season.
Two replicated tests were conducted at each trial site grouping varieties with similar days to maturity to ensure valid statistical comparisons.
Test plots were kept weed-free using conventional herbicides. Herbicide-tolerant varieties were not sprayed with their companion herbicides.
