This study was carried out to determine the efficiency of nitrogen (N) doses (0, 30, 60, and 90 kg N ha−1) under supplemental potassium (K) application (50 kg K2O ha−1) on black cumin in 2011 and 2012. The results showed that increased N levels resulted in increasing seed yield and N and K contents in seed, while oil content decreased. The seed yield and oil yield were peaked at the doses of 60 kg N ha−1and 50 kg K ha−1. An increase in N doses caused a reduction in oil content regardless of K supply. Saturated fatty acids and oleic acid were slightly increased by K application, while minor changes in linoleic acid were detected. It was concluded that 60 kg N ha−1with supplemental K application should be advised for enhancement in seed yield, oil yield, and N and K contents in seeds of black cumin without significant changes in fatty acid composition.

Ridomil MZ alone or Ridomil MZ followed by protectant fungicides was tested to manage white rust (Albugo candida) (Pers. ex Lev.) Kuntze on Brassica juncea L. var. RL-1359, sown at the normal time in 1989–90 and 1990–91 and under delayed sown conditions in 1990–91 at 2 different geographical locations of the Punjab state. Two spray applications of aqueous suspension of Ridomil MZ at 450 g a.i./ha or 1 foliar application of Ridomil MZ at 450 g a.i./ha, followed by another spray of Dithane M-45 at 600 g a.i./ha or Blitox-50 at 375 g a.i./ha at 15- or 20-day interval to a 70-day-old crop significantly reduced both foliage and floral infections. These treatments significantly increased the seed yield over control and other treatment combinations, without having an adverse affect on the oil content and fatty acid composition of the oil. The same fungicide regime was effective to control white rust when applied to a 50- or 60-day-old crop under delayed sown conditions. The seeds harvested from the plots treated twice with Ridomil MZ exhibited no detectable residue of metalaxyl and mancozeb. The timing of application of these fungicides may be critical in the control of white rust, particularly in the late sown crop.

Rainfed Conditions

Soybean (Glycine max), a multipurpose crop with much appreciated nutritional and functional properties, has generated a lot of interest during last few decades for improving its cultivation and characteristics. Besides having a great potential of energy-protein malnutrition eradication, it can contribute greatly to edible oil pool in the region. This study investigates some agro-morphological characters, besides seed oil content and fatty acid composition of two local soybean genotypes labeled as S/D-18 and S/D-22 grown under rainfed conditions of Kashmir Himalayas in India. The genotype S/D-22 matured earlier than that of S/D-18. Seed yield/plant of 18.5 g (S/D-18) and 20.1g (S/D-22) was recorded in these genotypes with 100-seed weight of 14.3 g and 14.7 g respectively. Seeds of genotype S/D-18 yielded an oil content of 19.54% while in genotype S/D-22 oil content of 19.74% was recorded. Fatty acids of myristic, palmitic, stearic, oleic, linoleic and linoleinic were detected and quantified in the oil extracted from the seeds of these genotypes. Saturated fatty acids constituted 11.88%(S/D-18) and 11.42%(S/D-22) while unsaturated fatty acids constituted 88.12% (S/D-18) and 88.58% (S/D-22) of the oil. The study has thus, revealed that under dry land conditions, although soybean seed yield/plant is lesser, percentage oil content and fatty acid composition essentially remained unaltered and that significant differences can occur in individual fatty acid contents between genotypes.

Starting Point

Evening primrose (Oenothera biennis L.) is a wild species native to Eastern-North America that has recently come under cultivation as an oilseed. The oil is primarily used as a treatment for skin disorders. As a starting point for genetic improvement and domestication of this species, it was thought essential to first characterize genetic variability in Ontario evening primrose, so that members of this population may be drawn upon as a resource during cultivar development. Thirty-six wild evening primrose biotypes were evaluated in replicated trials conducted at the Delhi Research Station during 1988–1990. Seed yield, oil content and the concentration of individual fatty acids were measured. Heritability estimates demonstrated the presence of heritable genetic variation for all characters measured except the C16:1 (n–9) fatty acid. Selection for yield, oil content or fatty acid composition amongst the wild bio-types should therefore be effective. Key words: Oenothera biennis, gamma-linolenic acid, GLA, oil, fatty acid composition

The results of long-term studies of the biological, morphological and phenological features of the introduced new culture of safflower in the Central, Volga and North Caucasus regions are presented. Optimum parameters of depth of seeding (5-6 cm), seeding rates (300-350 thousand pieces/hectare or 12-14 kg), ensuring high productivity, oil content and quality of seeds are established. For the first time, the relationship between moisture availability of vegetation periods with accumulation of oil content and a change in the fatty acid composition was established. Oilseed (in untreated seeds) in the regions was from 14,5 to 31,2%, in excessively wet 2013 – 6,4% in the Moscow region and 8,6% in the Saratov region. Fatty acid composition revealed a high content of oleic acid in Krasa Stupinskaya variety – 13,6-16,8%, linoleic acid – 68,5-75,7%. The yield of oil in the Moscow region was 240 kg/ha. The yield of Krasa Stupinskaya in the Moscow Region was 0,6 t/ha, the Rostov Region 0,8 t/ha and Saratov Region 1,2 t/ha, with an average weight of 1000 seeds, respectively, by regions: 40,0 g, 47,3 g and 40,9 g. The growing season for growing seeds was 105 days in the Moscow Region, 94 days in the Rostov Region and 95 days in the Saratov Region. It has been established that excessive moistening during the flowering and seed filling period increases the harmfulness of enzyme-mycosis seed depletion (EMIS) – biological injury during maturation (enzymatic stage), followed by the seeding of the seeds with the phytopathogen Alternaria carthami Chowdhury. In the breeding programs for productivity and oil content, it is recommended to use the varieties Moldir (Kazakhstan) and Krasa Stupinskaya (FGBNU VSTISP), the fatty acid composition of which is characterized by an increased content of oleic and linoleic acid, which is of particular value for storage and use for food purposes.
