Canola has proved to be a crop that fits into rotations well as a break fcrop and can provide high returns. However, the past few years, with a series of late breaks or droughts, canola has fallen out of favour in some areas. Hybrid canola varieties have been in Australia since the early 1990s but it is only in the past few years that hybrids have shown their potential. Whether this has been due to hybrid vigour and therefore high yield potential or due to high blackleg resistance is a moot point.
