Abstract:
The study was carried out on the field experiments of Mustafakemalpasa Vocational School, Uludag University in western Turkey in 2010-2012 years. In the trial, the potential effects of nine different nitrogen doses (0, 30, 60, 90, 120, 150, 180, 210 and 240 kg N ha-1 ) on seed yield, yield components and quality characteristics of rapeseed were evaluated. Californium cultivar was used as plant material. Trial plots were organized according to randomized block design as with three replications. Lateral branch number attached to main stem, pod number per plant, seed number per pod, seed yield per plant, 1000-seed weight, oil yield and seed yield increased as nitrogen doses increased. Whereas, oil ratios were decreased as opposite increased of nitrogen doses. According to these results, 180 kg N ha-1 dose is recommended for net income.
