Abstract:
Field experiment was conducted in Qazvin, Iran during 2009-2010 growing season aimed at optimizing nitrogen rates under different irrigation regimes for production of turnip rape (Brassica campestris L.-cv. Goldrush). The experiment was conducted using a randomized complete block, factorial design with three replicates. Experimental treatments were irrigation in four levels (I: I1= irrigation on the basis of 80 (control), I2 = 100, I3 = 120 and I4 = 140 mL evaporation from the class A pan) and four nitrogen fertilizer rates (N: N 1= 0, N2 = 50, N3 = 100, N4 = 150 kg ha-1). It was shown that increasing irrigation rate significantly increased 1000 seeds weight, seed yield, seed oil yield, biomass yield and harvest index as control irrigation (80 mL evaporation from the class A pan) had a significant preference in comparison to 140 mL evaporation from the class A pan. Generally application of 100 and 150 kg N ha-1 in control irrigation had a significant preference in comparison to other treatments. The highest seed yield and seed oil yield obtained by application of 150 kg N ha-1 in control irrigation by average of 5586 and 2348 150 kg ha-1, respectively. The interaction effect of irrigationxnitrogen had not a significant increase on harvest index.
