Canola (North Dakota, USA)

Study details

• Research institution: North Dakota State University
• Researchers: Drs. Victor Gomes and Leandro Bortolon
• Date: 2025
• Location: Dickinson and Minot, North Dakota, United States
• Soil: Loamy soils in both locations; organic matter: 4% (Dickinson), 3.3% (Minot)
• Boron content: 0.35 ppm (Dickinson), 0.44 ppm (Minot)
• Fertilizers: Granubor^®, Solubor^®, and ulexite
• Crop variety: L345PC (Dickinson), DK400TL (Minot)
• Plant population: 600k pl/ac (Dickinson), 450k pl/ac (Minot)
• Trial design: Randomized complete block with four repetitions

Results

In Dickinson, treatments were statistically significant for grain yield. The treatments that consisted of the combination of Granubor at planting and Solubor at 10-20% bloom produced the best results. In Minot, the results were not statistically significant for grain yield or oil content, but there is definitely a yield gain (>100 lbs/acre) for the treatments that received any boron fertilization when compared to the untreated plots.
