ALT Informational graphic titled "Canola: Windrow on Time, Reap the Reward$". The graphic discusses optimal windrowing timing and its benefits, emphasizing the importance of assessing individual seed color change. Key points include seed color change, timely windrowing in southern and western Australia compared to northern and central regions, and the role of sampling in determining timing, utilizing technology like satellite images and NDVI. An image of a canola field is partially visible in the background.

ALT The image is a flowchart titled "Sampling protocol" with four main steps. Step 1: Identify five sampling locations in the paddock. Step 2: Instructions for collecting pods from main stems and branches, shown with colored diagrams. Step 3: Split pods, place seeds in a dish, and spread seeds over an indent paddle. Step 4: Assess seeds using a closest match guide. Diagrams and text offer guidance on sampling, collecting, and evaluating seeds.

ALT Chart illustrating pea maturity and oil content: - Left section: No color change, check in 4-6 days, yield 40-60%, oil decrease 6-8 percentage points. - Middle section: 10% color change, check in 3-4 days, yield 30-40%, oil decrease 4-5 percentage points. - Right section: 20% color change, check in 3-4 days, yield 20-30%, oil decrease 3-4 percentage points. Background shows peas in various stages of ripeness.

ALT A chart titled "Too Early to Windrow" displays three sections indicating different stages of color change in crops: 30%, 40%, and 50%. Each section provides a timeframe for rechecking, potential yield, and oil content. Images below each section show crops at their respective stages of color change: green and orange speckles transitioning in color.
