Extract

Rape (Brassica campestris L.) is well adapted to the Bangladesh climate and is an important oil crop of the northern part of Bangladesh. It requires a shorter growing season than any other crop of this kind but is less resistant to drought, which causes considerable damage to the crop by reducing total green area during late December and January and results in a poor yield. Considerable increase of rape-seed production will be possible through the elimination of drought by irrigation, the right supply of nutrients and application of proper cultural practices. We report here on studies of the effect of fertilizer under irrigated and non-irrigated conditions on the seed yield, oil content and some seed yield associated characters of rape and the importance of irrigation in rape cultivation in Bangladesh.
