RESISTANCE OF BULK CANOLA OILSEED TO AIRFLOW
The distributions of chaff and fines were studied in a 4.6 m diameter bin filled with canola (variety Tobin, Brassica campestris) using either a spreader or central spout. The resistance of canola to airflow and the effect of variety, moisture content, method of fill, direction of airflow and the …

Simulating a storage-production system with three oilseed crops
This work developed a simulation model that is intended to be used for strategic investment decisions by a company that operates in a wide range of activities in the agriculture business in Brazil. Mostly, it is a tool that allows the user, in this case the company management, to quantitatively …

Lactation Response of Dairy Cows Fed Distillers Grains Versus Oilseed Meals
<p>With the raising costs of protein supplements this study was conducted to determine the lactation response of dairy cattle feed distillers grains versus the traditional protein supplements. The first study was conducted to determine the optimum level of dried distillers grains with solubles in a …

Tools and Techniques for Managing Risk for Virginia Grain and Oilseed Producers
Two very important benchmarks in the development of a marketing strategy are the variable and fixed costs of production. Every farmer has costs of production that are unique to their particular farm. Accurately identifying the costs of production or break even costs for the various crop enterprises …

A Genetic Approach towards Modulating Pre-Harvest Pod Shatter in Brassica napus (Oilseed Rape)
Pre-harvest pod-shattering in Brassica napus (Oilseed Rape) is a serious agricultural and economic problem, with losses of 11-25% reported (Price et al., 1996) resulting in lost revenues of an estimated £66 million per annum for the U.K. alone. Reductions in this loss will provide benefits for both …

A molecular genetic analysis of resistance to poleroviruses in sugar beet and oilseed rape
… reduction in the yields of sugar beet and oilseed rape respectively. Both viruses are transmitted by the aphid vector Myzus persicae. Current control methods rely heavily on the use of insecticides for controlling the aphids which can spread these viruses to a wide range of host plants. …

Linking germination traits of oilseed rape (<i>Brassica napus</i> L.) to DNA markers
Oilseed rape has become an important weed in arable rotations and a feral plant of field margins, soil dumps and roadsides. Seed persistence in the soil following induced secondary dormancy is thought to perpetuate these weed and feral populations. Potential variation between cultivars has been …

Feral oilseed rape populations within a scottish landscape : Implications for GM coexistence and environmental risk assessment
… many regions of the world, the crop, oilseed rape (Brassica napus), is giving rise to populations of volunteer weeds in fields and feral plants outside fields, both of which can retain crop genes and hybridize with compatible wild relatives. Feral oilseed rape has received global …

Assessing population yields and developing an agronomic cropping system for Silflower (Silphium integrifolium), a perennial oilseed crop
… is currently being domesticated as a potential oilseed crop. It has deep roots, large seeds relative to other native perennials, and can produce 9.5 Mg ha-1 of biomass (Schiffner et al., 2020). We compare seed yield of ten silflower populations, two collected from wild germplasm, one from …

Control of Turnip yellows virus: Assessing impact on oilseed rape quality traits and dissecting circulative transmission by aphids
… is one of the most significant viral diseases of oilseed rape and may be one of main reasons why commercial oilseed rape crops do not reach their genetic potential. TuYV is transmitted by aphids, sap-sucking hemipteroid insects, and the green peach aphid (GPA) is the predominant vector. TuYV can …

Renewable energy in Sicily: sizing of a plant for Biogas production and energetic assessment of Biodiesel production from oilseed crops
The topics of the PhD thesis have the objective of assessing three different aspects of the renewable energy sector: i) sizing of plants for the production of biogas through anaerobic digestion of agricultural waste and by-products of agro-industries; ii) evaluation of the mechanization and …

The role of foliar glucosinolates in host plant resistance of oilseed rape and mustard to the Bertha armyworm and the diamondback moth
The relationships between host plant glucosinolates and feeding and growth of a polyphagous insect, the Bertha armyworm, Mamestra configurata Walker and field infestation levels of an oligophagous insect, the diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella L. were investigated. M. configurata reared on eight …
