YIELD AND SEED QUALITY OF SPRING OILSEED CROPS
Journal Title: Folia Pomeranae Universitatis Technologiae Stetinensis Agricultura Alimentaria Piscaria et Zootechnica - Year 2017, Vol 43, Issue 336
Abstract
The aim of researches was to establish the yield of spring oilseed crops, namely, rape, false flax, white mustard and Brassica juncea, oil radish and flax and to define the competitiveness of false flax comparing with these crops. The researches were carried out on dark-grey light loamy soils. Besides, field, chemical, counting-weight methods of researches were used. The data of field researches of yield and seeds quality of oilseed crops are presented. The highest yield of spring crops was observed in spring rape – 2.45–2.50 t/ha as to flax and false flax, respectively, it was 2.16–2.25 t/ha and 2.18–2.23 t/ha. It should be noted that flax (51.5%), Brassica juncea (45.8%) and false flax (44.3%) is characterized by high oil content. The analysis results of fatty acid composition shows that the most valuable in physiological respect is the oil from flax and false flax. The oil of these crops contains extremely healthy human composition of fatty acids, from which only 10% saturated fatty acids and 90% unsaturated ones. These crops contain omega-3 – 50.2–57.8%, omega-6 – 19,3–19,8% and omega-9 – 15.8–17.0%. That’s why the oil can effectively reduce cholesterol level and has other important medical properties.
