Oilseed Rape [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
This chapter assesses the prospects for using the oilseed rape crop as a feedstock for biofuels. Oilseed rape is used principally as a feedstock for biodiesel because its oil comfortably meets the biodiesel standard (EN14214). Currently about 18% of global biodiesel production comes from oilseed rape and this uses about 11% of global oilseed rape ...

Modelling seedbank dynamics of volunteer oilseed rape (Brassica napus) [PDF]

open access: yesAgricultural Systems, 2005
A simple mechanistic model is presented which describes population dynamics of volunteer oilseed rape within a field. The model calculates the number of volunteers appearing in each crop and the seedbank after each crop.

Oilseed Rape

Outlook on Agriculture, 1989
Although oilseed rape has been grown in Europe since the 16th century it is only since the 1960s, as part of a policy of self-sufficiency in vegetable oils, that it has become a major crop. Apart from the intrinsic problems of crop management and the control of pests and diseases, growers have had to face others arising from EEC regulations concerning ...

Outlook on Agriculture, 1984
Oilseed rape is currently the third most important crop in the UK after barley and wheat. Field experiments show that despite the already attractive yields the full potential of the crop has not yet been achieved. However, its future is uncertain in that the area devoted to it within the EEC—representing one-fifth of world production—is strongly ...
