Which indicators are most effective at detecting rapid shifts in soil health?
Abstract Farmers are showing a growing interest in soil health. Therefore, it is necessary to understand how and when indicators respond to changes in land management. Measurements of soil carbon (C) and nitrogen can take up to a decade to shift. However, it is unknown how other biotic markers of soil health (i.e., nematode communities) react.

Organic acid effects on Brassica napus L. var. oleifera seed germination and seedling growth
Canola (Brassica napus L. var. oleifera) is cultivated in the Southern Brazil as an alternative winter crop in the rotation system. No-tillage and hydromorphic soils favor the formation of aliphatic organic acids with short chain and low molecular weight,

Molecular response of canola to salt stress: insights on tolerance mechanisms [PDF]
Canola (Brassica napus L.) is widely cultivated around the world for the production of edible oils and biodiesel fuel. Despite many canola varieties being described as ‘salt-tolerant’, plant yield and growth decline drastically with increasing salinity ...

Transgenic crops : new weed problems for Canada? [PDF]
Over 25 000 transgenic field trials were conducted globally from 1986-1997, and many transgenic crops, including soybean (Glycine max), maize (Zea mays), tobacco (Nicotiana tabaccum), cotton (Gossypium hirsutum), canola (Brassica napus, B. rapa), tomato (

Selenium (Se) is a beneficial element for higher plants and its positive effect on plants growth and performance has been reported. Effect of Se under non-stress conditions especially during reproductive phase has not been attracted enough attention. In this work effect of Se supplementation at 0, 10 and 20 μg Se plant-1 was studied in canola (Brassica

The flea beetle's glucosinolate‐based chemical defense fails to protect larvae from nematode infection. However, the defense inhibits the nematode's symbiotic bacteria, thereby potentially impairing nematode reproduction and biocontrol success. Abstract BACKGROUND The efficacy of entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) in the biological control of insect ...

Responses of Canola to Different Row and Plant Spacings
A field study was carried out to determine growth and yield of canola (Brassica napus L.) at different inter row (30, 45, and 60 cm) and intra row (10, 15, and 20 cm) spacing between 1995-97.

Effects of Intercropping (Canola-Faba Bean) on Density and Diversity of Weeds
In order to evaluate the biological effect and interference of crop and weed in canola-faba bean intercropping in comparison with mono culture, an experiment was conducted in randomize completely blocks design with three replication at Ramin Agriculture ...

Characterization of Triazine-Resistant and -Susceptible Isolines of Canola (Brassica napus L.) [PDF]
Morphometric, electrophoretic, and immunological procedures were used to probe the structural and physiological differences between triazine-resistant (R) and susceptible (S) isolines of canola (Brassica napus L.). The R biotype exhibited increased grana stacking and decreased amounts of starch compared to the S biotype. Likewise, characters associated
