Abstract
The wheat-dominated inland Pacific Northwest (iPNW) has a broad range of environments and soil types; however, the region lacks crop diversity. Many other semi-arid wheatgrowing regions throughout the world have successfully included oilseeds in their rotations for decades. Growers in the iPNW have fine-tuned their agronomic management practices to meet the needs of wheat production for more than a century. Agronomic approaches to oilseedproduction require adjustments to account for physiological differences between the two types of crops. Crop management is typically tailored to the physiological and morphological traits of each crop. Farm equipment, timing of farm operations, and agrichemical management are also designed in consideration of these traits. While canola producers can take advantage of wheat-based farm machinery and equipment, farm operations need to be tailored specifically to canola physiology and morphology to optimize yield and quality. A review of these differences between crops from planting to harvest, in the context of iPNW environmental stressors, provides insight into recommended modifications of wheat management strategies for canola production.
