Potential analysis on new varieties of hybrid Brassica napus for oilseed and vegetable
To better understand the potential of Brassica napus L.for both oilseed and vegetable in southern Si-chuan,6 oilseed varieties and 2 vegetable varieties were selected and analyzed from 3 aspects:economic benefits,agronomic characters and nutritional quality.Results showed that dual-purpose planting technique reduced the yield of rapeseed but increased the economic benefits.Stalk-cut treatment with the loss of the main stem and stem pod,while reducing primary branches and pods of primary branches,which indirectly affected the number of seeds per silique,resulting in reduced production of rapeseed.Rape stalk was found to be functional vegetable with good palatability and rich nutritional value.This study confirmed that oilseed-and-vegetable dual-purpose might be a suitable planting technology for popularization.
