2015 Proven Performance Trials
The CPS Field Performance Check (FPC) and Fieldscale Retail Demonstration (FRD) programs have been featuring varieties and collecting data since 2009
to give producers and CPS agronomists local results under local conditions in a field scale format.
All sites were producer-managed using field scale equipment. All hybrids within the field were seeded on the same date and treated with the same
fertilizer, herbicides and fungicides. Harvest timing was based on variety maturity. Yields were measured by weigh wagon or by yield monitors, which
were calibrated prior to harvest. 105 napus field trials and demos were seed, and yield data was collected from 84 of these sites.

2015 started out as an early season across many areas of the Prairies.
Frost and drought posed a significant challenge early in the season,
but in most cases respectable yields were produced.
