Summary

Brassica carinata (an uncultivated species) was compared with other oilseed species already under cultivation in India, on irrigated and rainfed soils. B. carinata yielded very well in a wide range of environments partly because it had a large number of primary and secondary racemes. It also showed better environmental adaptation and substantial resistance to pests and disease.
