Nitrogen use efficiency and nitrogen uptake of juncea canola under diverse environments
Nitrogen accounts for the largest energy input in oilseed production. Understanding N use characteristics of oilseed crops will help improve N use efficiency and minimize production costs. This study determined nitrogen use efficiency (NUE, defined as seed yield produced per unit of N supply), nitrogen fertilizer use efficiency (NFUE, defined as seed yield produced per unit of fertilizer N), and ...

Development of drought-tolerant canola (Brassica napus L.) Through genetic modulation of ABA-mediated stomatal responses
Canola is one of the most important oilseed crops, and its seed yield and quality are significantly affected by environmental stresses such as drought. The phytohormone abscisic acid (ABA) is induced by drought and triggers stomatal closure to reduce transpiration, which accounts for >90% of water loss in plants. The ABA-mediated stomatal response is a dosage-dependent process that can be ...

Comparison of certified and farm-saved seed on yield and quality characteristics of Canola
Relatively high seed prices and low canola (Brassica napus L.) grain prices created a controversy over using farm-saved seed from hybrids. Agronomic implications of saving seed from a canola crop were investigated by planting certified seed and saved-seed of an open-pollinated and a hybrid canola cultivar at eight site-years in Saskatchewan and Alberta, Canada. In one series of experiments ...

Mustard Oil Press Machine
Mustard seed is still rare in the oil crop which can be used in the oil expeller in China and the plant area is not so large. Mustard seed is the seed of the cruciferous family plant, including black mustard seed, yellow mustard seed and white mustard seed, brown mustard seed, and 3 other kinds. Due to the development of science and technology in recent years, mustard seed has been gradually ...

Transition from intensive tillage to no-tillage and organic diversified annual cropping systems
Transition to no-till (NT) and organic (ORG) farming systems may enhance sustainability. Our objectives were to compare transitional crop productivity and soil nutrient status among diversified NT and ORG cropping systems in Montana. Three NT systems were designed as 4-yr rotations, including a pulse (lentil [Lens culinaris Medik.] or pea [Pisum sativum L.]), an oilseed (canola [Brassica napus ...

The Ins and Outs of Cattle Nutrition
They say, “You are what you eat.” What goes in and out of our bodies is obviously important for our general health and maintenance. Well, the same holds true for our cattle as well, but with one main difference: Where we only have one stomach to worry about, they have four! Cattle are animals technically classified as ruminants, a distinction that includes sheep, goats, and deer. ...

Things You Need To Know Feed Ingredients
Feed ingredients are broadly classified into cereal grains, protein meals, fats and oils, minerals, feed additives, and miscellaneous raw materials, such as roots and tubers. These will be discussed in separate headings below. More information on measuring the nutrient composition of ingredients and the process of formulating poultry feeds is available in the section on feed formulation. ...
