Abstract

Canola genotypes were evaluated in a field experiment, replicated and casualized demonstration plots, and commercial fields, at the municipalities of Maracaju e Sidrolândia, in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul, during the 2006 cropping season. Due to seeding after the recommended period, rainfall during all crop cycle was only 95 mm at the experimental area, and ranged from 70 to 126 mm in the commercial fields. These conditions favoured grain yield of the shorter cycle genotypes, which yielded up to 1.679 kg/ha. Hyola 61, genotype with intermediate cycle, yielded up to 1.100 kg/ha on commercial fields. Available technology and its transfer process with engagement of technical personnel and farmers with professional approach and e dedication allowed adequate crop establishment and management indicating great potential for canola crop development in the MS deploying the available commercial genotypes.
