AGRONOMIC SEED PRODUCTION AND OIL QUALITY EVALUATION OF VARIOUS BRASSICA SPECIES GROWN UNDER SEMI-ARID CLIMATIC CONDITION

Abstract

Brassica crops (rapeseed and mustard) are important oil seed crops of the world. Increase in the demand of edible oil due to the ever-increasing population has threatened the sufficient availability of edible oil. For this purpose, a two year experiment was laid out at experimental farm of Bahauddin Zakariya University, Bahadur Sub-Campus Layyah-Pakistan. Twenty brassica genotypes viz., Holya-401, Faisal canola, AARI-Canola, Hop-09, RBN-04722, Panjab Sarsoon, RBN-11049, Mulki, PARC-Canola hybrid, Pakola, Canola Raya, Con-II, 19-H, Durr-e-Nifa, RBN-03046, Shiralee, Dunckled, Bulbul, Nifa Gold and Abasin-95 were evaluated and experiment was repeated over the time for two years. Analyses of variance revealed significant (p<0.05) differences among all the studied attribute of brassica genotypes. Moreover, year effect was also found significant due to change in weather condition and rainfall of the two years. Results revealed that maximum number of seeds/siliqua per plant, biological and seed yield were found in genotype ‘Dunkled’ and oil seed quality was observed in genotype ‘Nifa-Gold’. In conclusion, the both genotypes ‘Nifa-Gold’ and ‘Dunkled’ showed improved the productivity, high yield and better oil quality under semi-arid climatic condition, Pakistan. Variability in brassica genotypes may be a good approach for breeding programs to obtain good production and oil quality under various environmental conditions.
