Nitrogen (N) is crucial for canola development as it is not able to fix atmospheric N like legume crops and has a high N requirement. Canola requires approximately 80 kg N/ha/tonne of yield which is double that of wheat and barley (Ag Vic, 2023). It is estimated that for all cereal crops they are only able to recover about 50% of the N applied to the soil (Silva et al. 2020). In canola about half the N taken up, goes to the seed, whereas in wheat this value is closer to 85%. Crop NUE consists of two components : N uptake efficiency (NUpE) which is the plants- ability to absorb N from the soil and N utilisation efficiency (NutE), is the plants- ability to partition absorbed N to specific plant organs and equates to the amount of grain produced per unit of N uptake at maturity (Oliveira Silva et al. 2020; Williams et al. 2021). NutE is sometimes also referred to as Nitrogen Remobilisation Efficiency (NRE). This investment will seek to understand the N uptake of current and select diverse canola varieties, however, will have an additional focus on the NUtE. Given that the NUtE of Canola is 35% lower than that of wheat, and it has been found that variation in remobilisation of N under high N conditions is mainly caused by variation in NUtE (Stahl et al. 2019). If we can increase NUtE in canola by 8% this may result in 2 scenarios for the grower. The first is that less N fertiliser would need to be applied due to improved utilisation of N that is already being taken up by t...
