Do specialty oil canola plants freeze easier than regular canola?

[Guest]

Had a -2 frost a few days ago and almost every field around of Invigor L258HPC is wiped out and the Invigor L340PC fields are hardly touched. All seeded side by side with the same drill on the same days.

The Invigor L258HPC is the healthy oil. Wondering if there might be issues with some varieties being less frost tolerant than others?

Mostly cotelydon to 1 leaf.

Canola is hardly ever “wiped out” from frost
We have never reseeded or wished that we had
And lots have reseeded all around us
Reseeded very seldom yields as good as frozen
This is on about 40 year observation
Patience is a virtue
Weed control and flea beatles control becomes extra important
Closest we ever came was after 3 frosts over 2 weeks
Crop ins said we had 1 plant per sq foot left and they would insure it
Supposed to have 2
It went 50 when 50 was huge

These ones have been hit 3 times in a week
They will make it like Case say’s because we took the beetles out asap . Still needs a rain but that’s out of our control .
For a rescue treatment we use matador plus 1.5 lt of Alpine G22
Gets rid of pressure and add a bit of nutrient to help it recover faster

90% of the time it’s the beetles that take the canola out quickly after a frost , not the frost itself
But I have seen frost wipe out canola a few times , but it was under stress before frost . Small seed don’t help at all in any stressful conditions

Has anyone done any reseeding due to frost this year or are guys still working on the first pass. Fert supplier said her had 18 nh3 wagons being pulled still.

Not locally, but did hear east and south east of here.
Some in far NW by St Wahlburg

Lots of seeding going on north south and west of us

Tomorrow will be our cleanup day, seeding about 65 acres of canola on 6 different quarters that were too wet when the rest was seeded earlier. Did a few oat and wheat acres yesterday, this should anger the rain gods and bring on the rain to flood these area’s again.
