Fifty-four Holstein bulls were blocked by initial BW (301 +/- 7.4 kg) and randomly assigned to 6 treatments following a 3 x 2 factorial arrangement, with 3 concentrate lipid levels (5, 8, and 11% of DM) and 2 lipid sources (whole canola seed and whole linseed), with the objective of evaluating the possibility of increasing the content of n-3 fatty acids in meat. Concentrates (mostly corn meal) ...

Diversified crop rotation is an option for expanding producer incomes, and its adoption has presented a series of agronomic advantages compared to less diversified systems. In this context, the objective study was verify if higher-diversified systems perform economically better than low-diversified ones. To end, we conducted experiment in no-tillage areas Londrina, south Brazil, years 2014/15 2...

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...

Salinity is a major environmental factor that influences rapeseed production in arid and semi-arid regions of central and southern Iran. In this study, effect of applied NaCl on shoot and root growth and distribution and accumulation of Na, Cl, K, Ca and Mg in the canola plant (Brassica napus L. cv: Hayola 308 and cv: PP 401) was investigated. The experiment was arranged in a completely randomi...

Canola is a specific edible type of rapeseed, developed in the 1970s, which contains about 40 percent oil. This research was carried out to determine the yield and some quality characteristics of some winter canola cultivars during the 2010-2011 vegetation period in Central Anatolia of Turkey. In this research; Oase, Dante, Californium, Excalibur, Elvis, ES Hydromel, Licord, Orkan, Vectra, Nels...

Protecting crop yield under drought stress is a major challenge for modern agriculture. One biotechnological target for improving plant drought tolerance is the genetic manipulation of the stress response to the hormone abscisic acid (ABA). Previous genetic studies have implicated the involvement of the beta-subunit of Arabidopsis farnesyltransferase (ERA1) in the regulation of ABA sensing and ...

In summer 2012, we initiated a large-scale field experiment in southern Ontario, Canada, to determine whether exposure to clothianidin seed-treated canola (oil seed rape) has any adverse impacts on honey bees. Colonies were placed in clothianidin seed-treated or control canola fields during bloom, and thereafter were moved to an apiary with no surrounding crops grown from seeds treated with neo...

Multiplex PCR procedures were developed for simultaneously detecting multiple target sequences in genetically modified (GM) soybean (Roundup Ready), maize (event 176, Bt11, Mon810, T14/25), and canola (GT73, HCN92/28, MS8/RF3, Oxy 235). Internal control targets (invertase gene in corn, lectin and beta-actin genes in soybean, and cruciferin gene in canola) were included as appropriate to assess ...

The aim of this study was to assess the food nutritional profiles potato chips, chicken nuggets, and broccoli their palatability after deep-frying with different oils. trials consisted 4 cycles at 180°C for minutes using extra virgin olive oil (EVOO), canola, grapeseed Samples oils were taken untreated treatments sensorial chemical analysis. EVOO canola deep-fried preferred by colour, but fried...
