Influence of nitrogen fertilization on physical and chemical properties of fatty acid methyl esters from Brassica napus oil

Uptake, transport and distribution of molybdenum in two oilseed rape (Brassica napus L.) cultivars under different nitrate/ammonium ratios

“…However, oilseed rape (Brassica napus L.), an important oil crop, is predominantly grown in Mo-deficient soils (Yin et al, 2009). Moreover, oilseed rape requires plenty of nitrogen (N) fertilizer for growth and yield (Behrens et al, 2002;Barłóg and Grzebisz, 2004a;2004b;Rathke et al, 2006;Leiva-Candia et al, 2013) and Mo deficiency often decreases the activity of nitrate reductase which leads to N deficiency in plants (Chatterjee and Nautiyal, 2001;Ide et al, 2011), poor seedling growth and lower grain yield (Yang et al, 2009;Liu et al, 2010). Furthermore, winter wheat subjected to higher rate of N-fertilization is prone to Mo deficiency (Wang et al, 1999) while supplying NH 4 NO 3 to plants stimulates the remobilization of Mo in black gram (Jongruaysup et al, 1997).…”

Quantification of loss in oilseed rape yield caused by delayed sowing date in a Mediterranean environment

“…World production of rapeseed has been above 70 × 10 6 t since 2013 and has doubled in the last 20 years (FAOSTAT 2018). The increasing interest in this crop is due to the high price of seed, which is due to the quality of the edible oil of CANOLA (CANadian Oil, Low Acid) or double-zero (low glucosinolate/low erucic acid) varieties (Guerrero 1999), the importance of seedcake in livestock feeding (Berrocoso et al 2015;Kuai et al 2016) and the excellent properties of the oil for biodiesel production (Körbitz 1995;Pinzi et al 2011;Leiva-Candia et al 2013). Rapeseed is also an important crop to the agroecosystems since it is a good preceding crop for cereals (Sieling and Christen 1997) and a valuable catch crop able to reduce nitrate leaching during winter (Dejoux et al 2000;Rossato et al 2001).…”
