OAC Triton is the first licensed, triazine-resistant spring rapeseed (Brassica napus L.). It produces seed low in erucic acid and glucosinolate content. Yield levels have averaged approximately 80% of Regent and oil content has averaged 2.4% less than Regent. OAC Triton is expected to be used where rapeseed production is restricted or inhibited by serious cruciferous weed infestations, other triazine-susceptible weed problems, or by atrazine herbicide residues.Key words: Rapeseed, triazine-resistant, Brassica napus L., canola, cultivar description
