competition of different densities of wild mustard (brassica kaber) and rapeseed (brassica napus) in greenhouse
Authors
abstract
a greenhouse experiment was conducted to evaluate the competitive effects of different densities of wild mustardas against rapeseed. the experiment was performed in a randomized complete block design with four replicationsusing replacement series in which wild mustard and rapeseed were respectively planted in different ratios of 4:0, 3:1,2:2, 1:3 and 0:4 plants per pot. results indicated that the maximum height, number of siliques per plant, silique lengthand number of seeds per silique in rapeseed vs. the maximum height, silique length and number of seeds per siliquein wild mustard were obtained in their monoculture states. overall evaluation of relative yield showed that bothspecies were exploiting the resources in different ways or even somehow benefiting each other. relative crowdingcoefficient of rapeseed as against wild mustard in the 3:1 treatment was greater than that in the other plant ratiotreatments. competition indices revealed that rapeseed benefited from a more competitive ability than wild mustard.

a two year field experiment was carried out to evaluate the competitive effects of wild mustard densities growing with rapeseed (cultivar talaye) under different nitrogen rates. treatments were wild mustard densities (0, 10, 20, 30, and 40 plant m-2) and nitrogen (n) rates (0, 50, 100, 150, and 200 kg n ha-1). the factorial set of treatments was arranged into a randomized complete block design ...

the use of more competitive species and cultivars in small grain cereal production may help to develop production systems that require less herbicide. this study was designed to identify root and shoot characteristics of cereal seedlings that would allow distinguishing the more competitive (mc) cultivars from the less competitive (lc) ones. two growth cabinet trials were conducted using four cr...
full textVariability of Fatty Acid Composition in Interspecific Hybrids of Mustard Brassica Juncea and Brassica Napus
In Sri Lanka, mustard (Brassica juncea) is cultivated as a subsidiary crop for the seeds used as a condiment in cooking. In the Indian sub-continent, however, it is an important oilseed crop used as a source of vegetable oil. Mustard has over 45% erucic acid (C22:1) which is unsuitable nutritionally for human consumption. The Brassica oilseed species, B. napus and B. campestris, were developed ...
full textEthylene Production during Development of Mustard (Brassica juncea) and Canola (Brassica napus) Seed.
An open, continuous flow system was used to investigate ethylene production during degreening of maturing seed of mustard (Brassica juncea cv Cutlass and cv Lethbridge 22A) and canola (Brassica napus cv Westar and cv Alto). Isolated mustard seed evolved higher amounts of ethylene than those of canola, and this was particularly evident both early in embryogeny and later during the desiccation ph...

in order to study the effects of wild mustard density on grain yield and yield components of canola cv. hyola 401 under different rates of nitrogen fertilizer, a field experiment was conducted in 2011-2012. the layout was split-plot in a completely randomized block design and three replications. main-plots included four levels of nitrogen (0, 70, 140 and 210 kg ha-1) and sub-plots consisted of ...
