Abstract

The paper presents a role of yield components in creating spring oilseed rape yield under different conditions of pest control and nitrogen application. The relationships between yield and its components were estimated using the path coefficient analysis. Pest control resulted in saving 5.9 dt of seed per 1 ha. In no case the increasing of nitrogen doses stimulated a compensation of oilseed rape after injuries caused by pests. Rape reacted to increasing nitrogen doses, up to the highest one, by the rise of seed yield. The effectiveness of nitrogen application, as evaluated for 1 kg, was highest at the range up to 80 kg N·ha-1. Higher doses resulted in over 2-fold decrease of the effectiveness. Yield of rape protected against pests was positively correlated with a number of both siliques per 1 m2 and seeds per silique, whereas it was negatively correlated with 1000 seeds weight. In contrast, the yield of rape that was not protected was substantially affected by a number of seeds per silique. At a low level of nitrogen application (≤ 80 kg·ha-1), rape yield was created by all the components studied (in the case of 1000 seeds weight the path coefficient appeared to be negative). Meanwhile, at large doses of nitrogen (120–160 kg·ha-1), only the number of seeds per silique was found to have a direct effect on spring oilseed rape yield.
