EFFECT OF ROW SPACING AND SEEDING RATE ON RAPESEED YIELD IN NORTHWEST ALBERTA

Abstract
The effect of row spacing and seeding rate on the yield of Brassica campestris L. and B. napus L. was studied for 2 yr in northwest Alberta. Rows were spaced 7.5, 15 and 23 cm apart with seeding rates of 7 and 14 kg/ha at each spacing. Decreasing row spacing from 23 cm to 15 cm and from 15 cm to 7.5 cm increased yields by an average 11% and 33%, respectively. Seeding rate had no significant effect on yield.Key words: Rapeseed, row spacing, seeding rate, yield
