Effects of oilseed rape green manure on phosphorus availability of red soil and rice yield in rice-green manure rotation system.

Improving the nutrient content of red soils in southern China is a priority for efficient rice production there. To assess the effectiveness of oilseed rape as green manure for the improvement of soil phosphorus nutrient supply and rice yield in red soil areas, a long-term field plot experiment was conducted comparing two species of rape, (BN) and (BJ). The effects of returning oilseed rape on soil phosphorus availability, phosphorus absorption, and yield of subsequent rice under rice-green manure rotation mode were analyzed, using data from the seasons of 2020 to 2021.

[Application of ICP-MS to detection of mineral elements in double-low and double-high rapeseed].

The object of the present study was to investigate ten necessary mineral elements in different varieties of rapeseed by ICP-MS. Thirty three samples of double-low (low in both glucosinolates and erucic acid) rapeseed (DLR) and 12 samples of double-high rapeseed (DHR) in the Yangtze River Valley were collected. The results showed that rapeseed contained many kinds of necessary elements, and there was a difference between DLR and DHR The average concentrations of P, K, Ca, Mg, S, Fe, Mn, Cu, Zn and B in DLR were 6.
