Abstract
Oilseed rape (Brassica napus L.), including industrial (rapeseed) and canola quality cultivars, offers potential for doublecropping in the southeastern USA. Early attempts at commercialization of this crop in the Southeast have frequently encountered difficulties in establishing stands. This 3-yr project (1986-1989) was undertaken to evaluate the effects of seeding depth and planter configuration (i.e., packing wheel pressure) on emergence of oilseed rape. The two field sites used for this study contained Lakeland sand (thermic, coated Typic Quartzipsamment) and Tifton loamy sand (fine, loamy, siliceous Plinthic Paleudult) soil types, respectively. Treatment factors were planter configuration, seeding depth, and cultivar [...]
