ECODA project number: Oilseeds East Activity 15 Objectives: To determine, in a series of field trials, how reduced plant populations affect physiological responses of spring canola to abiotic stresses – primarily heat stress and water stress – in the Ontario
Improving oil quality of Eastern Canadian canola
Categories: Canola; Oil Quality; Fertility; Agronomy ECODA project number: B.2.5, B.2.6 and B.2.7 Principal investigator: Hugh J. Earl Executive Summary Elevated levels of free fatty acids (FFAs) in the seed has historically been the most important quality defect threatening marketability of
Identify the molecular basis of green seed in canola and develop gene-based markers for degreening
ECODA project number: B.2.4 Principal investigator: K. Peter Pauls Executive summary The presence of green seed in canola at harvest is unwanted, because chlorophyll in the oil is undesirable from a consumer’s perspective and leads to rancidity in the oil.
Evaluation of natural products on agronomic features of canola: Effect of treatments on crop germination, growth, fatty acid profile and yield of canola in Eastern Canada
Categories: Canola; Agronomy; Oil Quality ECODA project number: B.2.2 and B.2.3 Principal investigator: Balakrishnan Prithiviraj Executive summary Marine bio-products have been known to induce plant responses such as altered fatty acid biosynthesis, induce plant defense to pathogens, improve crop growth under
Development of high oil canola varieties/genotypes packaged with superior traits and suitable for cultivation in Eastern Canada
ECODA project number: B.1 Principal investigator: Peter B.E. McVetty Executive summary Canola production in Eastern Canada is limited to the use of cultivars developed specifically for Western Canadian growing regions. The objective of the ECODA B1 project was to identify
Improving oil quality of Eastern Canadian canola
ECODA project number: B.2.5, B.2.6 and B.2.7 Principal investigator: Hugh J. Earl Executive Summary Elevated levels of free fatty acids (FFAs) in the seed has historically been the most important quality defect threatening marketability of the Ontario canola crop. Accordingly, variety
Canola nutrient management
Categories: Canola; Fertility ECODA project number: B.5 Principal investigator: Bao-Luo Ma Executive summary Field experiments were conducted across Eastern Canada to investigate the growth, yield and quality traits of canola crop to preplant and sidedress application of nitrogen (N) fertilizer
