Clubroot disease resistance has been introgressed from Brassica rapa into canola following different approaches including a B. napus × interspecific cross; however, the details of this cross are not available. To extend our knowledge for introgression to multiple pathotypes, we crossed clubroot-resistant turnip with susceptible and backcrossed F1′s canola. The backcross population was subjected...

In this experiment, the possibility of growth promoting of exogenous salicylic acid during two growth stages on chlorophyll content, yield and yield components of canola plant was investigated. For the purpose of improving above traits, salicylic acid was applied in four concentrations (0, 100, 200 and 400 µM) during two different growing stages (first time; when temperature was close to 7-10 °...

soil salinity is a serious problem in south khouzestan province. this study was conducted in shawoor agricultural research station, north of the city of ahwaz, on silty-clay soil with 8 dsm-1 salinity during 2006 and 2007. a completely randomized block design arranged in split plots with three replications was used. the plots (planting methods) were: broadcasting + disk harrow (p1), broadcastin...

a canola seed pneumatic conveyor was designed and constructed to convey canola seed at a 90 g/hr mass flow rate through a 58 mm diameter pipe. physical and aerodynamic properties of the canola seed that are critical to the design process were measured. system pressure drop, comprising air pressure drop and solid pressure drop and which is the most important aspect of pneumatic conveyor design, ...

an investigation was initiated to examine the effects of nanoscale titanium dioxide particles on plant growth and development. in view of the widespread cultivation of canola in iran and in other parts of the globe and in view of the potential influence of titanium on its growth, this plant was chosen as the model system. canola seeds were separately treated with different concentrations of nan...

Adequate nutrition is essential for crop growth, production, and profit potential farmers, but chemical fertilizer costs alone can constitute a greater portion of the total variable wheat canola. The present study evaluated seven cropping treatments (CT) in 3-year rotation under two different soil types. Five CTs consisted one-time application (year 1) beef cattle manure, growing cover cocktail...

in order to determine the effect of different levels of sulfur bentonite on yield and yield components of canola a factorial experiment was conducted on the basis of randomized complete block design with three replications in mashhad in 2009-2010 growing season. factors included four levels of sulfur bentonite (0, 300, 400 and 500 kg.h-1) and two varieties of canola (modena and zarfam). the res...
