Carinata farming 2015
Farming
• Commercial trials
– 2014 - 50 ha (Locations: Paysandú and Durazno)
– 2015 - 150 ha (Pdu, Durazno, Rocha, Colonia, Pando)
• Planted in 5 different locations
• 3 Carinata varieties + Canola rivette
– Agrisoma 110996EM
– Agrisoma 044-312D
– PG584 – NZ seed
– Canola rivette

Farming
• Sowing date: 15/may - 13/june
– 2 cm deep
– 38 cm between rows
– Pre emergence - Trifluralina
– Fertilization:
NPK (18:46) 100kg/ha sowing / 1,5 month NS

Farming
• Rainfalls
6
– Below average in the first month
• The emergence was delay, many plants were lost
– In August it began raining
• High levels in 2 weeks, lost yields in areas
• with bad drainage
• Temperatures
– 2 frosts (- 9°c) events affect negative

Harvesting
• 100% of the area direct mechanized harvesting
– Non swathing
– Desiccant application
– Common equipment used as other crops (soybean, wheat, barley, others)
• Harvesting date: Carinata 1-Dec; Canola 15 to 20 days earlier

• AGR044-312D average highest yield
• Areas were not homogeneous– yields above 3000 kg/ha were observed in the harvester computer

Comments and room for improvement
15
• Sowing date– 2015 we planted too late
– Target - end of April
• Weed control– Ok Trifluralina for pre emergence
– To be defined for post emergence control
• Trials with the Agronomy University will be set 2016
• Fertilization– Trials with the Agronomy University will be set 2016
– Actually using canola recommendation
• Harvesting– Options for new desiccant
– Target – to optimized cycle length in order not to use desiccant
