The potential of mustard (Brassica juncea (L.) Coss) as an edible oil crop on the Canadian Prairies

D. L. Woods, J. J. Capcara, R. K. Downey

Abstract

The performance of mustard (Brassica juncea (L.) Coss) was compared with that of canola (B. napus L. and B. rapa L.) on the western prairies. Mustard had a higher yield and protein content and was intermediate in maturity. Improvement in oil content will probably be required. Key words: Mustard, Brassica juncea, edible oil crop
