Average prairie canola yield relative to spring wheat. From about 1990 to 2011, canola yield was gaining relative to wheat- driven by improved weed control, hybrid vigour, & the elimination of early maturing, lower yielding B.rapa, which was about 30% of canola acres

For those who are interested, the average canola-wheat yield difference has been widening in favour of wheat for quite some time.

We are making plans on how to name our future cereal (mostly wheat) varieties & looking to add a prefix with varieties’ names. Which prefix do you think will rhyme well with names & help us build a brand around our research program?
