Research Objectives

To assess the practical, agronomic and economic implications of intercropping peas and canola (peaola) in a field-scale replicated trial.

When peas and canola are grown together in the same field at the same time as an intercrop, it often over yields – the yield produced by the intercrop is greater than the yield produced by the monocrop grown on the same total land area. This trial investigates the agronomic and economic implications of intercropping peas and canola with three different nitrogen fertilizer rates compared to monocropping peas or canola.
