Response of Early, Timely & Late Genotypes of Brassica sps. Grown under Different Temperature Conditions for Oil Content & Fatty Acid Composition

The effect of four different dates sowing on oil content and fatty acid composition was studied using eleven rapeseed Indian mustard varieties at Agricultural Research Institute, New Delhi. Effects species, maturity duration (early, timely late sown) environment (different sowing) the observed. results indicate specific, genotypic variation as well response to environment, resulting from strong G×E interactions for delay in compromised general. Higher temperature seed filling pod stage affected profile. A significant correlation between variables Linolenic (r= -0.335 -0.317) erucic (r = -0.578 -0.568) significantly negatively correlated with whereas a positive found linoleic 0.324 0.338). indicated that brassica genotypes during 2nd fortnight October is beneficial far quality concerned.
