GREEN FORAGE YIELD AND YIELD COMPONENTS OF FIVE OILSEED RAPE GENOTYPES (BRASSICA NAPUS L.) IN RESPONSE TO SOWING DATE AND HARVEST STAGE

Green forage yield and yield components of five oilseed rape genotypes (Brassica napus L.) in response to sowing date and harvest stage

Five oilseed rape genotypes were tested at three sowing dates and harvested at two developmental phases to determine their effects on green forage yield and yield components during 2013/14 growing season.The highest density of canopy was observed at the third sowing date (86 - 157 plants/m2 ).Among five genotypes, AbaKus Gloves formed the most plan
