Other claims from this paper (9)
- Observation Brassica carinata showed good adaptability across study sites.
- Intervention effect The highest nitrogen level improved yield at Sites 1, 2 and 3.
- Intervention effect Minimum tillage did not negatively influence crop production.
- Intervention effect Minimum tillage did not negatively influence seed oil content.
- Intervention effect Highest sowing density gave the best crop performance at Site 3.
- Intervention effect At Site 3, highest sowing density with lowest nitrogen supply maximized seed oil content.
- Intervention effect At Site 4, compost with mineral nitrogen produced results comparable with mineral fertilizer.
- Intervention effect At Site 4, sewage sludge produced results comparable with mineral fertilizer.
- Recommendation The authors concluded organic fertilizers could substitute mineral fertilizer at Site 4.
