The response of three spring cultivars of oilseed rape to five levels of nitrogen fertilizer (0 to 200 kg/ha) was studied during 1978–9 (Scarisbrick, Daniels & Alcock, 1981). Sampling problems, practical difficulties of measuring yield components, and the high co-efficients of variation for these data were discussed. During the course of further investigations on the winter cultivar Jet Neuf (established on approximately 75000 ha in the U. K. during 1980–1) within-plot variability for plant weight was assessed in order to indicate the size of sample necessary to compare treatment means.

Since rainfall generally exceeds 500 mm during the winter months and soil erosion is a problem in the southern U.S.A., a cover crop is essential to reduce soil losses. Continuous cultivation of a crop on the same land also provides the opportunity for pest problems to develop. A winter rapeseed (Brassica napus L.)-grain sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L). Moench.) double-cropping system was investigated in the field from 1981 to 1984. Conventional tillage (CT) and no-till (NT) systems were used for both crops. Gullivar rape was planted in October and harvested in June. Winter rapeseed yields averaged 2.87 t ha−1 on CT plots in 1982. Averaged over 1983 and 1984, rape yields were 1.66 and 0.73 t ha−1 on CT and NT plots, respectively. However, the seeding method biased the rapeseed performance. Problems were encountered with winter weed control and pod shattering in the winter rape plots. Two sorghum hybrids, R. C. Young Oro Txtra and Funks G-550, were planted in June and harvested in October. Grain yields were not significantly different between hybrids (Oro 5.69 t ha−1, Funk 5.67 t ha−1) or between tillage systems (CT 5.59 t ha−1, NT 5.78 t ha−1). Grain yield differences were noted for year × hybrid × tillage interactions. Rape was a weed problem in the sorghum plots. The winter rape-sorghum double-cropping system offers an alternative to current winter small grains-sorghum/soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) or winter annual legume-sorghum/soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) systems; however, markets for the winter rapeseed and production economic analyses are needed prior to adoption of the system. Additional winter rapeseed research is needed to evaluate yields properly under NT conditions.Key words: Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench, Brassica napus L., conservation tillage, multiple cropping, sorghum, rapeseed

Plants were regenerated from seedling tissue explants of four lines of winter rape (Brassica napus L.) including a cytoplasmic male sterile line carrying Raphanus sativus L. cytoplasm, and from leaf mesophyll protoplasts of the cytoplasmic male sterile line. Chromosome number variability was investigated in 102 regenerated plants. Mitotic root-tip cells were scored initially; those plants exhibiting mixoploidy or an altered chromosome number were reexamined at meiosis to confirm the presence of alterations in germ line cells. Plants regenerated from seedling explants included 2n = 38 diploids (87.0%) similar to the parental line, monosomics (7.8%), trisomics (2.6%), and 2n = 76 tetraploids (1.3%). The germ line number was not resolved in one mixoploid (1.3%). Protoplast-derived regenerated plants were diploid (44%), hypodiploid (20%), and tetraploid or hypotetraploid (36%). Meiotic analysis of regenerated plants showed a range of multiple chromosome associations with no plants consistently exhibiting bivalent formation only. Chromosomal alterations other than number may have been induced by culture, but could not be substantiated since multiple chromosome associations were also frequent in control plants grown from seed.Key words: plant regeneration, protoplast regeneration, Brassica napus, cytogenetics.
