Oilseed rotations

These ongoing projects relate to the work that HGCA has commissioned in relation to oilseeds in general.

Click on the titles for an upshot of the problem to be addressed, the aims, the approach and the benefits to the industry. Also  the latest project information will be attached in the form of Annual Project Reports (APRs) or Interim Reports.

RD-2003-2922 Impact of previous cropping on winter oilseed rape yields
To test the hypothesis that growing oilseed rape constrains yields of future oilseed rape crops grown in the same field.

RD-2007-3388 The impact of previous cropping on OSR yields - sampling and trials establishment 
The project aims to examine the effect of previous crop rotation on the growth and yield of oilseed rape.

RD-2009-3649 The impact of oilseed rape cropping frequency on rooting
The overall aim is to ascertain how the rotational intensity of oilseed rape cropping influences root growth in the crop

RD-2009-3648 The impact of oilseed rape cropping frequency on components of yield - an adjunct to ‘Impact of Previous Cropping on WOSR RD-2003-2922’
Project aims to record the components of oilseed rape yield across a range of rotational intensities.
