Eyre Peninsula on a breezy morning. The “new” kid on the block - PY424GC - with the “old” kid on the block (me!) This 4 maturity Optimum Gly/Clearfield tolerant @pioneerseedsau hybrid is a belter!! Available in 2025.
I’m super excited about this!

Emergence timing more important than plant numbers in Canola 🤓
- the ability to emergence canola on a low water potential (only 5mm added, soil moisture <4.5%) was worth more than 1t/ha in 2023 on a sandy soil at Wynarka (GSR ~220mm). @theGRDC Canola Establishment @CSIRO
Set up for our @pioneerseedsau STRIKE Walk at Fords in SA’s Lower North. If you’re local we have sessions at 11am and 1:30pm. Come see and hear about #optimumgly and other #YSeries Canola from Pioneer
The Pioneer® team is at Yorke Peninsula Field Days this week. Come and say g'day to the team, located at site 864 on Bute Rd. They are looking forward to talking all things canola, especially new #optimumgly Y Series® hybrids @DaysYorke@startwithseed
Flying into Pt Lincoln this morning over @hybrids_perform PY422G - the new #OptimumGly Canola from @pioneerseedsau - if you look closely you can spot Red near his shed!
Bankers hour @CortevaAU Halbury Research Farm. A late afternoon chat coming up with some agros and growers about #optimumgly and @pioneerseedsau#YSeries Canola
Timing trumps precision
5th April Canola at suboptimal establishment 11 plants/m2 (from deep sowing) versus optimal establishment from 5th May sowing . I’m backing early April for yield with heat over next week
