Pioneer® Seeds canola STRIKE (Seed Technology Research In Key Environments) trial sites in the northern region (southern QLD and northern NSW) are establishing well with planting completed mid-April. There is growing interest in canola in cropping rotations in this region. Pioneer Seeds is committed to conducting canola trials so growers and consultants can better understand each hybrid's performance in local conditions. Keep an eye out for upcoming field walks through the trials in Goondiwindi and North Star.
