cutting (direct combining) has become gradually accepted by some Canadian farmers. Desiccants (such as_x000D_
Glyphosate and Reglone) may be applied prior to straight cutting because application of desiccants can result in_x000D_
the uniform dry down of the canola plants on the entire field. Different harvesting methods influence the initial_x000D_
storage conditions of canola and therefore affect the quality of the stored oilseed. It is not known whether these_x000D_
different harvest methods influence storability or not. We were approached by Bayer CropScience Inc. to_x000D_
design a study to investigate the safe storage time of the canola seeds harvested by straight cutting and_x000D_
swathing with or without application of desiccants. Based on the collected data in this study, guidelines of safe_x000D_
storage time of canola with different harvested methods will be developed and compared with published_x000D_
guidelines in the literature. Using the results from this study, Bayer will be able to provide scientifically_x000D_
supported guidelines to farmers for appropriate harvest and storage methods., program purpose french : Even though swathing canola is the standard harvest method for most canola producers, the practice of straight_x000D_
