Abstract:

To explore the suitable planting density and row spacing of the hybrid rapeseed ‘Fengyou10’ in Huanghuai area, a field experiment was conducted in the main rapeseed producing areas in Henan Province to compare the variety’s phenophases, SPAD value of leaves, leaf area index at flowering stage, economic characters, and yield and quality in different planting densities and row spacing arrangements. The results showed that the growth period of ‘Fengyou10’ was gradually shortened with the increase of density and row spacing. The SPAD value of leaves decreased gradually with the increase of density and the decrease of trailing distance in the bolting stage and flowering stage. The LAI of the plant increased firstly and then decreased with the increase of the density in the flowering stage. Under the same density, the LAI was higher in the row spacing of 40 cm. The plant height, the number of primary effective branches, the length of main inflorescence and the number of siliques were gradually smaller with the increase in density, while the branch position was increased, and the effective number of siliques per plant was decreased with the decrease of the traveling distance. The 1000-grain weight was not affected by the density and the arrangement of row spacing. The grain yield and oil content increased firstly and then decreased with the increase of planting density. The grain yield was the highest under the planting density of 420000 plants/hm2 and 40 cm row spacing, which was 2734.6 kg/hm2. When the row spacing was reduced to 20 cm, the average grain yield decreased by 4.65%. The contents of erucic acid and glucosinolate in grains did not change with the changes of density and row spacing. Under the condition that other cultivation measures remain unchanged, it is suggested that the planting density of ‘Fengyou10’ should be controlled within the range of 345,000-495,000 plants/hm2 and the row spacing should be set at 40 cm in Huanghuai area.

Key words: planting density, row spacing, Brassica napus (Fengyou 10), yield, seed quality
