31 May 2001 Canola growers have been urged not to forget to apply nitrogen fertiliser to their crops this season, especially now that canola prices have firmed. Paul Carmody said growers should be applying nitrogen fertiliser. Mr Carmody said second to sowing time, nitrogen nutrition had the biggest impact on canola yields and quality. Mr Carmody warned cash-strapped farmers not to cut back on nitrogen fertilisers. The yield potential for a canola crop is established during the stem elongation period and budding.
