Yield structure of selected varieties of white mustard grown as main crops and their impact on the potato cyst nematode (Globodera rostochiensis). II. Above-ground and root biomass production and potato cyst nematode density in soil
Journal Title: Rośliny Oleiste - Oilseed Crops - Year 2013, Vol 34, Issue 1
Abstract
Field studies carried out on light loamy sand in 2008–2010 were aimed to compare fresh and dry yields of above-ground and root biomass and antinematode (Globodera rostochiensis) effect of ten white mustard varieties: Accent, Bamberka, Bardena, Barka, Concerta, Metex, Nakielska, Radena, Rota and Sirola grown as the main crop. The varieties significantly differed in both yields and anti-nematode activity. The biggest above-ground biomass (both fresh and dry) was produced by the Accent variety and by Concerta, Bardena and Radena. In the case of roots the order was: Accent, Radena, Bardena and Concerta. Above-ground plant yields were proportional to plant heights. The total fresh mass yield of white mustard corresponded to 51–71% of the mean dose of cattle manure (35 t•ha-1) applied under potatoes. All examined white mustard varieties limited the density of potato cyst nematodes in the soil. Most pronounced reduction of potato cyst nematodes was observed for Bardena, Rota, Accent, Sirola and Radena varieties. The years of studies influenced the investigated parameters of yielding. The least important antinematode effect was recorded in the year 2010 of the highest nematode density in soil and the smallest root yield of white mustard.

Wpływ insektycydów na ilość i jakość plonu rzepaku ozimego
Wielkość plonowania rzepaku ozimego uzależniona jest od bardzo wielu czynników uwzględnianych w prawidłowej technologii produkcji. Ważnym elementem technologii jest ochrona chemiczna przed szkodliwymi owadami i ochrona e...
Postęp biologiczny i jego znaczenie w produkcji rzepaku w Polsce i województwie podkarpackim
The study presents the status of the biological progress and its importance for the production of oilseed rape in Poland and Podkarpackie voivodship. The changes in the sown area have been analysed and the yields obtaine...
The sensitivity of spring and winter varieties of oilseed rape to heavy metals and rhizobacteria
We have examined the impact of heavy metals (zinc, cadmium, copper, lead) and rhizobacteria on the growth of seedlings of Brassica napus L. We analyzed three varieties of rape: two spring – Belinda and Clipper and one wi...
Competition between plants on adjacent plots in the field trial on the winter oilseed rape ([i]Brassica napus[/i] L.) 2. An attempt to eliminate the impact of competition between plants growing on neighboring plots on the seed yield from the plot by statistical calculations
The results of field trials with winter oilseed rape are biased by the effects of competition between plants growing on adjacent plots. We tried to remove the impact of these effects using analysis of regression. The pro...
