    Using agronomic management techniques such as increasing plant density, nitrogen and sulfur inputs and grazing to manipulate harvest index in the high-rainfall zones, research has shown that the biomass of canola can be increased but the harvest index is harder to change. From the first year of this research growers are recommended to seek canola varieties with stable harvest index.
