Direct seeded canola (Brassica napus L.) has become increasingly popular in China’s key canola-producing regions. The studies on the K response of direct-seeded performance are limited. This research aimed to investigate utilization efficiency and canopy radiation interception rate direct winter at various application rates. Two seasons field trials were done with five levels (0, 75, 150, 225...

This study identifies and analyzes factors influencing canola plantation development in Tabriz and Marand Counties. The Censored Model was used to analyze cross-sectional data collected from 372 farmers using a questionnaire. Due to the weakness of the Tobit Model in separating factors affecting the adoption decision of farmers and factors affecting the rate of adoption, the Heckman Model was e...

Japan’s oilseed sector is divided into two main components: 1) a large oilseed-crushing industry that produces vegetable oil and oilseed meal, and 2) industries using oilseeds for food, without crushing them for oil. In general, the oilseed-crushing industry is protected by tariffs on vegetable oil at the border, but receives no domestic subsidies. Oilseed production for food, in contrast, gene...

MOTOR OILS Motor oils have been utilized since the development of steam engines as a buffer between moving and static engine components. The basic jobs of the lubricant are to prevent metal-to-metal contact and to transfer heat from friction away from the contact point. During the time of steam power, one of the best lubricants available was derived from rapeseed oil. With the development of in...

In addition to the primary use of canola in oil pressing, canola is important as a feed supplement for livestock. We have developed a new approach (termed PiggyBackTM expression) that can be used to enhance the histidine content of canola protein. Using PiggyBackTM expression (a novel recombinant approach for generically improving the amino acid composition in crop plants) the histidine content...

The objective of this study was to evaluate performance, gastrointestinal morphometry, carcass, and non-carcass traits in lambs finished on different levels canola grain the diet. Twenty-seven Santa Ines with an average initial weight 19.33 ± 1.39 kg were given diet: 0, 8, 16%. Weights body condition scores determined at beginning, every 14 days end experimental period. Animals slaughtered asse...

canola producers in the province of qazvin were surveyed in order to explore their perceptionabout technical skills influencing the production of canola. based on the perception ofrespondents, the results showed that the contact with agricultural service centers would encouragefarmers to produce canola. the results showed that there were relationship between perception ofrespondents about canol...

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...
