“…Carinata has demonstrated greater yield potential compared to camelina ( Camelina sativa L. Crantz), rapeseed ( Brassica napus L.), and pennycress ( Thlaspi arvense L.) grown in a similar rotation (Gesch et al, 2015), and may be well suited as a winter crop in the southeastern (SE) US (Seepaul, Bliss, et al, 2016; Seepaul et al, 2018). These features may allow the incorporation of carinata into existing cotton ( Gossypium hirsutum L.)–peanut ( Arachis hypogaea L.) cropping systems in the SE as a winter crop with modest modification to existing infrastructure (Boote et al, 2021; Seepaul, Bliss, et al, 2016; Seepaul et al, 2021; Tiwari et al, 2021).…”

Brassica carinata (carinata), a non‐food oilseed feedstock mainly used for biofuel, is a relatively new alternative winter crop in the southeastern (SE) United States (US). However, there are limited N rate and N application timing data available at the regional scale. These data are needed to expand production in the SE US. An N rate study was conducted during the winter–spring growing seasons during 2017–2018 and 2018–2019 in Florida, US, and at three locations during 2018–2019 in Georgia, US, to quantify the effects of N rate (0, 45, 90, 134, and 179 kg N ha−1) on carinata nutrient uptake, biomass, seed yield, and seed chemical composition. Seed yield showed a linear response up to 134 kg N ha−1. Seed protein and glucosinolate concentrations decreased from 0 to 90 kg N ha−1, then increased from 90 to 179 kg N ha−1. Seed oil concentration was inversely related to seed protein concentration. A two‐factor N application timing study (4 N application timing: at‐plant, pre‐bolting, at‐plant + pre‐bolting, at‐plant + pre‐bolting + bolting × 4 N rates: 0, 45, 90, and 134 kg N ha−1) was conducted in Georgia, US, over three site‐years to quantify the effect of N application timing on yield and agronomic and economic optimum N rates (AONR and EONR, respectively). All split applications increased AONR by at least 10 kg N ha−1 compared to a single at‐plant application. A two‐split N application was more profitable than either a single N application or a three‐split N application based on marginal return. A two‐way split application (at‐plant + pre‐bolting) at 134 kg N ha−1 is recommended to optimize yield and economical production. Based on uncertainty analyses, the 50% credible interval of EONR occurred between 116 and 152 kg N ha−1, with a median estimate at 130 kg N ha−1.

“…napus (napus) and B . rapa with high oleic acid, low erucic acid, and low glucosinolate content are grown widely as major edible oilseed crops in Europe, North America, South America, Australia, and China (Seepaul et al, 2021). Brassica juncea with high erucic acid and glucosinolate content is mostly grown in the South Asian subcontinent to meet the edible oilseed demand (Becker et al, 1995; Gómez‐Campo, 1999; Kjellström, 1993).…”

Brassica carinata is a non‐food, low‐carbon, none‐to‐low indirect land‐use change impact oilseed feedstock grown for sustainable biofuels, bioproducts, and high protein seed meal. Understanding carinata growth and development is critical to the development of best management practices for maximum productivity and profitability of double‐cropped farming systems. Field experiments were conducted during 2017–2018 (Year 1) and 2018–2019 (Year 2) winter–spring growing seasons in Quincy, Florida, to quantify the total aboveground dry matter accumulation (TDM), allocation, growth, nutrient uptake, and seed quality. The two carinata cultivars Avanza 641 and AX17012 accumulated 10826 and 9343 kg TDM ha−1 in Year 1 and 9655 and 10,642 kg TDM ha−1 in Year 2, respectively, at harvest maturity. The proportion of DM in the vegetative parts such as leaves and stems decreased, and the DM in reproductive structures such as silique walls and seeds increased with maturity. Seed yield (SY) was similar between cultivars but differed between years with Year 1 (2732 kg ha−1), producing 29% greater SY than Year 2 (1929 kg ha−1). Carinata primary stem has 17–20 leaf nodes, with 75%–88% of the axillary meristems producing primary and secondary branches. Crop growth rate (CGR) increased from vegetative to pod development for both cultivars in Year 1, while in Year 2, AX17012 and Avanza 641 attained maximum CGR at the pod development and bolting/flowering stages, respectively. Maximum seasonal nutrient uptake in leaves, stems, and siliques generally occurred in the early, mid, and late season, respectively, in both years. Seed weight, oil, monounsaturated fatty acids, C18:3, C20:1, and C22:1 concentrations increased with plant age, whereas protein, glucosinolate, polyunsaturated fatty acids, saturated fatty acids, C18:1, and C18:2 concentrations decreased with plant maturity. These results can be used for crop modeling to predict growth, development, and yield and aid in developing in‐season decision support tools.

“…Seepaul, Kumar, Iboyi, et al (2021) provide details of the origin, distribution, genomic resources, morphology, phenology, reproduction, and agronomy of carinata based on studies across the world. It was found that carinata is adaptable to diverse growing regions, cropping systems, and management regimes with demonstrated potential to be grown on the continents of Asia, Africa, North America, South America, Europe, and Australia either as a spring or winter crop in double‐cropped systems.…”
