Open publisher page 5 citations

Abstract

Two mustard lines (Brassica juncea (L.) Czern) were compared with canola (B. napus L. and B. rapa L.) in the Peace River region. Mustard matured later than did B. rapa, and did not show a significant yield advantage over B. napus. Oil concentration was similar to that of B. rapa, and significantly below that of B. napus.Key words: Mustard, B. juncea, edible oil crop, comparative crop performance
