Effect of Row Spacing on Yield, Yield Components and Crude Oil of Autumn and Spring Sowed Mustard (Sinapis arvensis L.) in Eight Locations of Turkey

Abstract

This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of autumn and spring sowing and row spacings (20, 30, 40, 50 and 60 cm) on yield, yield components and crude oil percentage of mustard (Sinapis arvensis L.) at eight locations lying in different ecological zones (Ankara,

Morphological characterization and relationships among some important wild and domestic Turkish mustard genotypes (Brassica spp.)

“…According to these results, different species of Brassica may possess important variations, in different sowing seasons and years and across locations, for plant height, plant branches, plant pods, thousand-seed weight, seed yield, and crude oil content due to differences in temperature, humidity, and precipitation, in agreement with Christensen et al (1985), Ilyasi et al (2018), and Kayaçetin et al (2018). During the present investigation the range of each parameter facilitated an understanding of the immediate extent of diversity among the genotypes.…”

“…Each genotype was sown in a 3-rowed plot of 3 m in length with unreplicated row spacing of 30 cm (Kayaçetin et al, 2018). Utilizing 5 randomly selected plants, all genotypes were characterized as follows: days to emergence, days to 50% flowering, days to harvest, plant height, plant lateral branches, plant pods, thousand-seed weight, seed yield, and crude oil content.…”

Botanical characteristics, potential uses and cultivation possibilities of mustards in Turkey: a review

“…Winter cultivars are needed to obtain higher yields by cultivating these species. Kayacetin et al (2018a) and Kayacetin (2019) have shown that longer vegetative growth and shorter generative growth due to winter sowing contributes to higher yields compared to yield from summer sown crops. It has been determined that the B. juncea, B. rapa and B. nigra genotypes must be grown in winter (Figure 10 - Kayacetin, 2019).…”

“…B. juncea surpassed B. rapa in yield tests and earlier maturity (Kayacetin, 2019). Kayacetin et al (2018a) and Kayacetin (2019) further suggest that B. juncea and B. rapa should be counted as the most promising species for biodiesel industry.…”

“…Studies have shown that winter-sown longer vegetative growth and shorter generative growth contributes to higher yields compared to yield from summer-sown crops. Kayacetin et al (2018a) and Kayacetin (2019) have recommended that the B. juncea, B. rapa, and B. nigra mustard genotypes must be sown in winter. They emphasise that S. alba genotypes are sensitive to cold and are suitable for spring sowing.…”
