Abstract:

To study the effects of tillage system, planting method and of nitrogen fertilizer rate on the agronomic characteristics and seed yield of rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) Dalgan oilseed rape cultivar, as the second crop after rice, a split factorial experiment in complete randomized block design with three replications was carried out in two cropping seasons (2016-2018) at paddy fields of Rice Research Institute of Iran, Rasht, Iran. In this experiment, three tillage systems (conventional tillage, minimum tillage, and no-tillage) were considered as main plots and two planting methods (direct and transplanting) and four rates of nitrogen (N) fertilizer (0, 100, 200 and 300 kg.ha-1) as factorial arrangement in sub plots. The results showed that conventional and minimum tillages in the transplanting method had the maximum seed yield (with the averages of 3458 and 3360 kg.ha-1, respectively). Transplanting method with 300 kg.ha-1 of nitrogen level had higher number of auxiliary branches per plant, number of siliques per plant, seed yield, and oil yield. Minimum tillage system with 200 kg.ha-1 of nitrogen with an average seed yield of 4144 kg.ha-1 had the highest seed yield. Based on the results of this experiment, minimum tillage system with 200 kg.ha-1 of nitrogen in both planting methods, direct seeding and transplanting, would be more suitable for oilseed rape production in Guilan region.

Interrelationships among oilseed rape (Brassica napus L.) grain yield and weed growth under different nitrogen levels

Management of nitrogen fertilization in crops is one of the most important components of integrated weed management. A two-year field experiment was conducted to determine the direct effects of wild mustard aboveground biomass and N content of wild mustard on oilseed rape yield. A set of factorial treatments was arranged in a randomized complete block design with four replications. Treatments w...

Evaluation of growth and seed yield of new winter oilseed rape (Brassica napus L.) genotypes under terminal drought stress conditions

Breeding and production of drought tolerant cultivars for arid and semi-arid area is very important. The present experiment was carried out to evaluate the effects of drought stress on seed yield and yield components of oilseed rape as well as identification of high yielding and drought stress tolerant genotypes. Eighteen new winter oilseed rape lines and commercial cultivars were evaluated und...

Ideotype Population Exploration: Growth, Photosynthesis, and Yield Components at Different Planting Densities in Winter Oilseed Rape (Brassica napus L.)

Rapeseed is one of the most important edible oil crops in the world and the seed yield has lagged behind the increasing demand driven by population growth. Winter oilseed rape (Brassica napus L.) is widely cultivated with relatively low yield in China, so it is necessary to find the strategies to improve the expression of yield potential. Planting density has great effects on seed yield of crop...

Winter rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) has potential to become an alternate oilseed crop both for edible oil production and energy agriculture (biofuel production) for Turkey. This study was conducted to determine the effect of year, N sources and doses on the yield and quality traits of winter rapeseed in a cereal system in calcareous soils over two seasons, 2000-2001 and 2001-2002, in Central An...
