“…For seed yield, regardless of the sowing season, values were lower than those reported by Gesch et al, 2015Gesch et al, (1462Gesch et al, -2925 kg ha -1 ) and Enjalbert et al, 2013Enjalbert et al, (1462Enjalbert et al, -2925 ). Later sowing dates provided lower yields due to lower water availability associated with high temperatures during flowering and grain filling, as reported by Kutcher et al (2010), analyzing historical data on canola and canola yield in Saskatchewan, Canada.…”

“…The oil contents obtained in the experiment were lower (29.66 to 31.16%) compared to the oil content of the seeds used in sowing (41%). Higher oil contents are cited in the literature, such as the experiments conducted at several sites in the semi-arid region of the Canadian prairies, where the oil content of juncea canola was 45% and B. juncea was 42% (Blackshaw et al, 2011) and in experiments conducted in Minnesota, USA, by Gesch et al (2015), which obtained 45.1% for juncea canola Oasis and 40.8% for B. juncea Pacific Gold.…”

Sowing date and fungicide application in the agronomic performance of oleaginous brassica for the biodiesel production 1 This work aims to evaluate the agronomic performance of crambe and juncea canola, sowed in the summer and winter season intervals with and without fungicide application. The cultivars used were FMS Brilhante and Terola 25A85 for crambe and juncea canola, respectively. The experimental design was randomized blocks in split plots, in which the plots were sowing dates 15 th May (E1), 1 st June (E2) and 15 th June 2014 (E3), and the split plots with and without aboveground part with fungicide (trifloxystrobin 150 g L-1 + prothioconazole 175 g L-1). The evaluated variables were plant height, thousand seed weight, seed yield, oil content and oil yield. The sowing dates had had influence only on plant height for crambe, while juncea canola had a significant effect on plant height, seed yield and oil yield. The fungicide application gave higher seed yield for crambe and for juncea canola, higher thousand seed weight, seed yield and oil yield. With the production technologies adopted for the growth of these two brassicas, it is necessary to obtain higher yields of seeds and oil, to enable the commercial exploration in the interval between the summer and winter off-season in the Northern region of Paraná state, Brazil

“…Like sunflower, canola oil is suitable for human consumption [107,108], although energy production [109][110][111] is the most relevant application [106,112]. The main features that drive the growing importance of canola is the high oil content (about 45-50%) [113] and suitability for phytoremediation in soils polluted with diesel and heavy metals [114,115]. Moreover, rapeseed by-products can be also exploited.…”

Herbaceous Oil Crops, a Review on Mechanical Harvesting State of the Art

2020

The sustainable production of renewable energy is a key topic on the European community’s agenda in the next decades. The use of residuals from agriculture could not be enough to meet the growing demand for energy, and the contribution of vegetable oil to biodiesel production may be important. Moreover, vegetable oil can surrogate petroleum products in many cases, as in cosmetics, biopolymers, or lubricants production. However, the cultivation of oil crops for the mere production of industrial oil would arise concerns on competition for land use between food and non-food crops. Additionally, the economic sustainability is not always guaranteed, since the mechanical harvesting, in some cases, is still far from acceptable. Therefore, it is difficult to plan the future strategy on bioproducts production from oil crops if the actual feasibility to harvest the seeds is still almost unknown. With the present review, the authors aim to provide a comprehensive overview on the state of the art of mechanical harvesting in seven herbaceous oil crops, namely: sunflower (Heliantus annuus L.), canola (Brassica napus L.), cardoon (Cynara cardunculus L.), camelina (Camelina sativa (L.) Crantz), safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.), crambe (Crambe abyssinica R. E. Fr.), and castor bean (Ricinus communis L.). The review underlines that the mechanical harvesting of sunflower, canola and cardoon seeds is performed relying on specific devices that perform effectively with a minimum seed loss. Crambe and safflower seeds can be harvested through a combine harvester equipped with a header for cereals. On the other hand, camelina and castor crops still lack the reliable implementation on combine harvesters. Some attempts have been performed to harvest camelina and castor while using a cereal header and a maize header, respectively, but the actual effectiveness of both strategies is still unknown.

“…Seeds were obtained from an oilseed trial that was conducted during the 2013 growing season at seven sites across the United States: Ames, Iowa; Echo, Oregon; Mandan, North Dakota; Morris, Minnesota; Moscow, Idaho; Sidney, Montana; and Temple, Texas (Gesch et al, 2015). A total of 367 seed samples from 12 spring and 6 winter cultivars were used in this study: B. carinata spring ('080814EM' and 'AAC A110'), B. juncea spring ('Oasis' and 'Pacific Gold'), B. napus winter ('Amanda', 'Durola', 'Dwarf Essex', and 'Wichita') and spring ('DK3042RR', 'Gem', 'Invigor L130', and 'SC28'), B. rapa winter ('Largo') and spring ('Eclipse'), C. sativa winter ('Joelle') and spring ('CO46'), and S. alba spring ('Idagold' and 'Tilney').…”

a b s t r a c tDetermining seed quality parameters is an integral part of cultivar improvement and germplasm screening. However, quality tests are often time consuming, seed destructive, and can require large seed samples. This study describes the development of near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) calibrations to measure moisture, oil, fatty acid profile, nitrogen, glucosinolate, and chlorophyll content in six species from the Brassicaceae family. Rapeseed and similar oilseeds are potential feedstocks for producing hydrotreated renewable jet fuel. Screening samples with NIRS would allow cultivars with desirable characteristics to be quickly identified. A total of 367 samples of six species (Brassica napus, Brassica carinata, Brassica juncea, Brassica rapa, Sinapis alba, and Camelina sativa) were scanned with NIRS. Global calibrations for all six species were developed using modified partial least squares regression with reference values obtained through wet chemistry techniques. Comparing predicted values to reference data, the coefficients of determination (r 2 ) and ratios of performance to deviation (RPD) varied, with some calibrations performing better than others. The calibration equations for seed oil content (r 2 = 0.98, RPD = 7.3) and nitrogen (r 2 = 0.98, RPD = 5.3) performed very well while the equations for seed moisture (r 2 = 0.93, RPD = 3.8) and total glucosinolate content (r 2 = 0.92, RPD = 2.3) were more qualitative. Large variation was observed for chlorophyll content (0-390 mg/kg) so two calibration equations were developed, one for the higher and one for the lower range of values. When combined, these calibrations also showed very good performance (r 2 = 0.99, RPD = 14). The performance of the calibrations for the fatty acids was more varied, with some performing very well, such as the calibration for C 18:3 (r 2 = 0.99, RPD = 9.9), and others, such as C 22:0 (r 2 = 0.69, RPD = 1.9), showing poor correlation.
