title: Optimising Plant Establishment 2020 Inverleigh Canola Experiment

description: Data from the 2020 crop establishment trial at Inverleigh, VIC. The trial compared the establishment of Hyola 580CT canola at different target plant densities, under a conventional seeder (Vaderstad Rapid) and under a precision seeder (Vaderstad Tempo). The experiment was run under the UOA1803-009RTX GRDC research project led by the University of Adelaide, with the experimental trial and local data collection managed by Southern Farming Systems (SFS).<strong>Files:</strong>2020 SFS canola.xlsx<strong>Experiment setup:</strong>Experiment managed locally by Southern Farming Systems (SFS). The trial was organised as a randomised complete block design with four treatments (conventional seeder vs precision seeder, by two different target plant densities 25 and 50 plants/m2), arranged in a single column with 12 rows, 3 replicates (so 12 plots total). Hyola 580CT canola was sown as the variety in this trial.<strong>Variables recorded:</strong>establishment count (plants/m2), interplant distance (cm), peak biomass wet weight (g), peak biomass dry weight (g), peak biomass moisture (%), peak biomass (t/ha), harvest biomass wet weight (g), harvest biomass dry weight (g), harvest biomass moisture (%), harvest biomass (t/ha), harvest index, yield (kg/plot), protein (%), oil (%), corrected yield at 8% moisture (t/ha), test weight (kg/hL), 1000-grain weight (g)<strong>Data collection and assessment:</strong>The canola was sown on 26/05/2020. Only final establishment counts were made for the canola crop, as there were difficulties with ground larks and earwigs during the preliminary emergence observations. Interplant distances were recorded between successive seedlings for each plot. Peak biomass and harvest biomass cuts were made to assess wet weight, dry weight and moisture content, and at harvest the yield (in kg/plot and corrected to 8% moisture), moisture content, oil content and 1000-grain weight were assessed.

title: Optimising Plant Establishment 2020 Rupanyup Canola Experiment

description: Data from the 2020 crop establishment trial at Rupanyup, VIC. The trial compared the establishment of Canola at different densities, under a conventional cone seeder and under a precision seeder. The experiment was run under the UOA1803-009RTX GRDC research project led by the University of Adelaide, with the experimental trial and data collection managed locally in Rupanyup by the Birchip Cropping Group (BCG).<strong>Files:</strong>2020 Birchip Canola.xlsx<strong>Experiment setup:</strong>The experiment was mnanaged locally by the Birchip Cropping Group (BCG). The trial was organised as a split plot with 4 treatments of target plant densities (10, 15, 25 and 50 plants/m2), with two different seeders used (conventional cone seeder vs precision seeder), with 6 replicates. This design was embedded in a spatial grid with 12 rows (not including the two buffer rows on the north and south sides) and 4 ranges, for 48 plots total. Note that windy conditions during the sowing caused an uneven distribution for the seeds along the plots, with a "fat" distribution at one end and a "thin" distribution at the other end. These distributions have been scored and are available as a covariate listed in the dataset.<strong>Variables recorded:</strong>establishment count (plants/m2), seedling depth (cm), NDVI, biomass weight (g), yield (t/ha), oil (%), moisture (%), protein (%), test weight (kg/hL), seed count (seeds/kg)<strong>Data collection and assessment:</strong>Plant establishment was measured using three counts across different pins and rows (Count 1: SW pins, 2nd row from the right; Count 2: Middle pins, 3rd row from the right; Count 3: NE pins, 4th row from the right), with these counts being made on 6 separate occasions between 22/05/2020 and 11/06/2020. Seedling depths in cm were recorded for 10 plants, but at only two treatments. Interplant distances were also measured upon establishment. NDVI measurements were made on 29/07/2020 and again on 23/09/2020. Biomass cuts were taken and weighed at plant Growth Stages 65 and 99. At harvest, the yield in t/ha was recorded for each plot, together with the moisture content, protein content, oil content (corrected to moisture), the test weight, and the seeds/kg.

title: Optimising Plant Establishment 2021 Hart Canola Experiment

description: Data from the 2021 crop establishment trial at Hart, SA. The trial compared the establishment of Hyola 350TT canola at different seeding rates, under two different times of sampling, and under 5 different seeders (conventional and precision seeders). The experiment was run under the UOA1803-009RTX GRDC research project led by the University of Adelaide, and the experiment and data collection were managed locally in Hart by the Hart Field-Site Group.<strong>Files:</strong>2021 Hart Canola.xlsx<strong>Experiment setup:</strong>Experiment managed locally by the Hart Field-Site Group. The trial was organised as a split-split plot design, with the time of sampling as the whole plot treatment (13/05/2021 vs 27/05/2021), 5 different seeder types as the subplot treatment (Conventional Disc seeder, Conventional Tyne seeder, Precision Disc seeder, Precision Tyne seeder, and Perfect Placement), and the seeding rate as the sub-subplot treatment factor (15, 25, 35, 45 seeds/m2). The design was arranged spatially in two columns and 48 rows, 4 replicates, for 96 plots total. Buffer rows separated the 13/05/2021 time-of-sowing plots from the 27/05/2021 time-of-sowing plots.

The Perfect Placement treatments were implemented at a rate of 135 seeds/m2 to facilitate the accuracy of an ideally-spaced target density. Emergence counts were made on 16/06/2021, 22/06/2021 and 28/06/2021, counted twice for each plot and averaged. Interplant distances were measured in cm for each plot, and seedling depths were measured across 10 seedlings for the Tyne seeder treatments and the Disc seeder treatments.
