N management for Brassica crops
Nitrogen use efficiency of different brassica crops
IPNI-2010-AUS-10
Brassica juncea is a relatively new crop for southeastern Australia, but there is little known about the N management of this crop relative to cereals or canola. A glasshouse screen was undertaken of a larger germplasm set to assess differences in N uptake among this germplasm. Read more

Interpretive Summary
| 2010 | Both the field and glasshouse components of this project have been completed, but as yet the harvest results have not been collated. In addition to yield and oil contents, grain N contents will be determined. The pot experiment showed a significant interaction between cultivar and the amount of applied N for N uptake, leaf N percentage, and plant dry matter. |
