Flax on Canola stubble

[biglentil]

My best flax is on canola stubble and not cereal stubble. Anyone else notice same thing this year.

Yup... same experience here.

just the opposite here, really struggled lots throughout growing season , almost looks as good as wheat ground side now , not quite tho

I put flax on canola stubble this year against all recommendations. It turned out just fine, yielded a bit less than flax on wheat stubble but I'm talking with a couple bushels. I'm will not be afraid to do it again!!!

How is the other way, canola on flax stubble?

Usually not the best rotation choice. Some years it can work ok, but study after study show flax is affected very negatively following canola much of the time. I have seen some real wrecks along with decent results. The wrecks do not IMO makeup for the once in a while good results.

Canola after flax is fine, if you do not have germ issues in the often dry surface soil following flax...

We did flax on both as well. Although not all things were equal. The better crop was grown on canola stubble but the ground was heavier and maybe got a wee bit more rain. In. Past years when we grew it on canola stubble we sould get some late volunteers that made straight cutting interesting. Surprisingly this year it is hardly a problem, go figure with the mess I have on most of the rest of farm.

Canola on flax stubble....it better effin rain. Flax stubble always seems drier than anything else. It seems "to do something" to the ground. Anyone have a legitimate explanation? Hobby? Tweety?-----Seeing how much you like it.

Anyone experiment with myccorizha fungi when seeding flax on canola stubble? Canola is quite hard on the natural populations and reintroduction of the fungi on canola stubble supposedly makes a huge difference.
