Canola Freeze Injury

Flowering canola plant. Princeton, KY. 21 Mar 2016.

Quite a bit of information for winter canola freeze injury exists (see the end of the blog for links).

This past weekend, most of the state remained in the low-30s°F. Weather data can be found at: wwwagwx.ca.uky.edu or www.kymesonet.org.  At these temperatures significant damage, even to flowering canola is not expected.  The critical temperature for winter canola is mid- to low- 20s°F.
