Abstract:
Y' Six cultivars of spring oilseed rape were grown in a green house at three fertility levels and two densities. Significant effects were found due to densities and varieties, and non-significant effects for fertility level. Plants at a 6.5 cm spacing had significantly more top dry weight and seed weight per plant than those with a 5.0 cm spacing. Varieties differed significantly for number of seeds per pod and 1000 seed weight. 'Bronowski, produced the greatest number of seeds per pod followed by 'Erglu', 'Janetski', Tower' and 'Brutor'. Regarding 1000 seed weight, 'Brutor, yielded the maximum and 'Bronowski' the minimum, pointing to the occurrence of component compensation.'Brutor was thus found as a less stable variety specifically adapted to high yielding environments, whereas 'Janetski' had a high stability and was specifically adapted to poor environments.
