abstract

in order to determine the responses of morphological characteristics, yield and yield components of rapeseed (brassica napus l.) to plant density and weed interference duration, a factorial experiment was conducted using a randomized complete block design with 3 replications at the rice research institute of iran (rrii) in rasht, in the 2008 growing season. the factors comprised plant density at 2 levels (80 and 57 plants m2) and weed interference duration at 7 levels (including weed competition with canola until the end of crop emergence, 2, 4, 8 leaf stages, and formation of flower buds). after the above mentioned growth stages, weeds of each treatment were removed manually until harvest. two check treatments including weedy and weed free were also selected as control. the traits evaluated in this research were plant height, number of secondary branches plant1, height of the lowest pod bearing branch, pod length, pod number plant1, grain number pod1, 1000 grain weight and grain yield. the results indicated that plant density, weed interference duration and their interaction had significant effects on all traits except pod length. in addition, the 1000 seed weight showed significant response to separate effect of each factor, but was not influenced by their interaction. the highest value of grain yield was related to a density of 80 plants m2 on total weed free check (full season weed free) and the lowest value of this trait was obtained from a density of 57 plants m2 on weedy check (fullseason weed infested) treatment.

Yield Comparison and Determining the Best Harvesting Time of Different Rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) Lines as the Second Crop in Rotation after Rice in Guilan Region

The pod drop and seed losses in rapeseed is one of the most important problems in the cultivation of this plant and determining the most appropriate harvesting time can greatly prevent this problem and subsequently reduce the grain yield reduction. Thus, the present research was conducted as a split-plot in time in the form of a randomized complete block design with three replications during th...

EFFECTS OF SOURCE AND RATE OF NITROGEN FERTILIZER ON YIELD, YIELD COMPONENTS AND QUALITY OF WINTER RAPESEED (Brassica napus L.)

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...
