Research was carried out at the Experimental Station of Aleksandras Stulginskis University on Calc(ar)i-Endohypogleyic Luvisol (LVg-n-w-cc) during 2014–2017. The effect of exogenous amino acids on the cold tolerance of the linear cultivar ‘Cult’ of winter oilseed rape (Brassica napus L. spp. oleifera biennis Metzg.) was studied. In autumn the plants were sprayed with L-proline and L-glutamic acid one or two times. The biometric parameters of winter oilseed rape prepared for wintering, the amount of endogenous proline and over-wintering of plants were evaluated. It was determined that exogenous L-proline and L-glutamic acid stimulated the growth of green mass of the winter rape surface, accumulation of dry matter and increase of the root neck diameter in the autumn period. The investigated concentrations of L-proline and L-glutamic acid stimulated a more intensive synthesis of endogenous proline in winter oilseed rape plants during the preparation for wintering. The highest percentage of over-wintering has been determined in the variants where in the autumn plants were sprayed two times with 30 mM l–1 L-proline or 1.5 M l–1 L-glutamic acid.

For crops grown in Mediterranean environments, translocation of pre-anthesis assimilates to the fruit is of great importance, because hot and dry conditions during fruit ripening diminish net assimilation rate and nitrogen (N) uptake. This field study was conducted to assess the pattern of dry matter and N accumulation and the role of assimilate translocation in pod development of oilseed rape plants in a Mediterranean environment. Four cultivars of winter oilseed rape (Brassica napus L.), i.e. three hybrids (Royal, Exact, Excalibur) and an inbred line (Fortis), were grown for two growing seasons (2005–06 and 2006–07) in northern Greece. On average, 581, 1247, 1609, and 2749 growing degree-days (GDD) were required for six leaves, stem elongation, 50% anthesis in main stem, and physiological maturity in the first year, and 539, 1085, 1601, and 2728 GDD in the second year. The R2 of the modified Richards function indicated that aboveground biomass and N accumulation were described with high approximation efficacy. The across-cultivars genotype mean maximum predicted total aboveground dry matter and N content were 1368.8 and 21.4 g m–2 in 2006 and 1655.1 and 25.4 g m–2 in 2007. In 2007, dry matter and N translocation from vegetative tissues to pods were 464.4 and 21.0 g m–2, and significantly higher than the corresponding values recorded in 2006 (264.4 and 17.0 g m–2). These differences were due to greater amounts of dry matter and N accumulating at anthesis and the greater sink capacity of plants (pod number) in 2007. The fact that pod development occurred in a period when N accumulation by oilseed rape plants had stopped led to high values of contribution of pre-anthesis N accumulation to pod N content in both years (92.8% in 2006 and 96.6% in 2007). Results indicated that hot and dry weather post anthesis reduced dramatically the net assimilation rates; thus, translocation of pre-anthesis assimilates was crucial for pod development. The results demonstrate that variation in weather conditions between growing seasons is one of the main causes of seasonal variation in oilseed rape productivity under Mediterranean conditions.

A split-split-plot design was used to evaluate the effects of sowing dates and sowing rates on three winter rape cultivars, including ‘PR45D03’, a semi-dwarf hybrid, ‘PR46W31’, a traditional hybrid, and ‘Californium’, an open-pollinated cultivar. August 25 was the optimal sowing date for maximizing protein and oil yields across all three cultivars. Of the cultivars, the traditional hybrid, ‘PR46W31’, produced the highest protein and oil yields on that date. The yields of the semi-dwarf hybrid, ‘PR45D03, were greater than those of the open-pollinated cultivar, ‘Californium’, when these were sown later than the optimal date. Protein and oil yields did not differ significantly among different seeding densities.

A single functional leaf is usually sampled to evaluate the growth and photosynthetic assimilation of crops. However, there is large variation between leaves in winter oilseed rape (Brassica napus L.) at seedling stage. In this study, the morphological and physiological characteristics of various functional leaves were compared with characteristics of the whole plant at seedling stage for 2 years by using the oilseed rape cultivars Huaza 9 and Huaza 62 as plant material. The aim of this study was to identify a leaf that can represent the whole plant for assimilate accumulation characteristics at the seedling stage of the crop. The results showed that the photosynthetic rate and the contents of non-structural carbohydrates, nutrients and soluble proteins in fourth and fifth leaf of a plant were most closely related to those of the whole plant. The area and dry matter (DM) of all functional leaves were well correlated with those of whole plant, with the fifth leaf having the highest correlations. It is therefore recommended that the fifth leaf is most suitable to represent the whole plant for evaluation of growth and assimilate accumulation for winter oilseed rape at the seedling stage. The following regression equations for whole plant (y) and fifth leaf (x, dry matter or length × width) can be used to predict (1) DM accumulation (g) and (2) total leaf area (cm2) of the whole plant: (1) y = 3.32x + 1.51 (R2 = 0.88, P < 0.001); (2) y = 1.24x + 222.69 (R2 = 0.67, P < 0.001).

The investigation presents data on winter rape agrocenosis productivity, soil physical properties, and CO2 metabolism intensity using different tillages. The object of the research is the winter rape (Brassica napus L.) crop using different tillages. The aim of the study was to determine and compare the effects of different tillages and direct sowing on winter oilseed rape, soil physical properties and CO2 emissions. Methods of analysis. The studies have been carried out in accordance with established procedures. The methods used to apply the Stationary Single Factor Field Experiment were installed at the Vytautas Magnus University Experimental Station in 1988. The study factor is tillage systems: normal deep pruning at a depth of 23–25 cm in autumn (DP), control; shallow pruning at a depth of 12 to 15 cm in autumn (SP); deep loosening at a depth of 8 to 10 cm in autumn (DL); shallow loosening 13–25 cm (SL); direct seeding with cultivation up to 5 cm (NT). Results. For a long time, direct seeding into the stubble (with cultivation up to 5 cm) increases the resistance of the soil shear. During the whole investigation period, a lower CO2 concentration was observed in shallow loosening and direct seeding fields. Simplified tillages did not have a significant impact on the yields of winter rape.
