New Canola Initiative Launched

The objectives of the group are:

1. Identify current canola growth models or crop models that are used to simulate canola
2. Develop protocols and identify reference data sets for evaluation and inter-comparison of canola models
3. Identify knowledge gaps and recommend improvements in modeling development, growth, grain yield and grain quality of canola crops
4. Produce multi-model assessment of yield potential of canola crops in major production regions of the world
5. Conduct multi-model assessment of the impacts of climate change on canola production
