Abstract:

To establish a reasonable cultivation and management mode matching canola production, three cultivation modes including farmers practice cultivation (FP), super high cultivation (SH) and high yield and high efficiency cultivation (HH) were adopted with middle-mature winter canola Huashuang 5 in single cropping rice region (Zhijiang) and early-mature winter canola Huazao 291 in double-rice cropping region (Wuxue) of Hubei province at high and low soil fertility levels. Biomass accumulation, radiation use efficiency (RUE), yield and lodging related indices were investigated and analyzed. The light inception rate (LIR) and RUE under SH and HH were higher than those under FP during whole growth period. The deceleration rate of LIR at the end of growth stage was least under HH as the rate of bolting nitrogen increased, which was benefit for biomass accumulation. The harvest index and yield of SH and HH were significantly higher than those of FP. Although HH had higher yield than SH, the difference was not significant. The lodging index of HH was lower than that of SH which indicated that HH had higher lodging resistance. All these revealed that HH could achieve high yield and high lodging resistance with lower nitrogen cost compared with SH. It is concluded that the HH cultivation model can promote the mechanical harvesting efficiency by increasing lodging resistance and reducing nitrogen cost due to higher plant density. Therefore, HH should be encouraged to extend in the Yangtze River Valley in the future for increasing mechanical canola productivity.
