Windrow assessment for canola

The aim of this check is to ensure that the crop is at the right stage of maturity for windrowing. This will ensure that seed yield and oil content are maximised. Oil content and seed yield will be reduced when windrowing too early, and shattering losses will occur when windrowing is too late. Canola crops will usually be ready for windrowing somewhere between 24 and 28 weeks after sowing
