Management Factors Determining Canola Yields in North America

Canola (Brassica napus L. ‘Canola’) is one of the largest oil, protein meal, and vegetable oil crop sources. Previously published research on this crop was focused on one factor at a time; therefore, the mechanism of how multiple factors interact to influence canola yield and the level of their significance was rarely reported. Improving research knowledge on the production management of this crop is needed to propose potential avenues for narrowing the yield gap, defined as potential minus actual on-farm yields.
