Competitive ability of six summer catch crops (Brassica napus, Lolium multiflorum, Lolium perenne, Phacelia tanacetifolia, Sinapis alba and Trifolium incarnatum) in volunteer winter wheat based on ...field trials was experimentally tested during the years 2004-2007 in central Bohemia (Czech Republic). The production of aboveground biomass and plant cover of sown catch crops, volunteers and weeds was assessed on experimental plots. General linear models revealed significant influence of catch crops, year and their interaction on dry-mass of the volunteers. The lowest average values of volunteer biomass at the end of the growing season (average from 2004-2007) were recorded on plots sown with S. alba (124.7 kg/ha) and P. tanacetifolia (186.3 kg/ha). The average biomass of volunteer plants in stands of S. alba was significantly lower than the biomass of volunteers in stands of L. perenne, L. multiflorum and T. incarnatum. The lowest average biomass of weeds was recorded also in S. alba stands.
The agri-food industry generates thousands of tons of by-products such as skins, peels, seeds, leaves and other inedible fractions. Such by-products usually cause environmental issues due to their ...large amounts and high water activity promoting microbial development. Food by-products can be readily recycled and utilized as a source of fuel, feed and fertilizer. Therefore, it seems logical and feasible to turn food by-products into animal feeds. The purpose of this study is to produce a new animal feed compound by extruding by-products of black and white mustard seeds production. After extrusion, the feed compound obtained was dried and stored in two manners: under ambient conditions and in a climate chamber under accelerated conditions of high temperature and air humidity. Our objective was to examine the oxidative stability of the feed compound produced, and to compare the properties of black and white mustard seed extrudates.
Lake Palić is a typical, shallow Pannonian plain lake, with thick sediment layers and high content of phosphorus and nitrogen. The thick layers are the result of accelerated eutrophication, and cause ...biodiversity loss and disruption of the ecosystem. Numerous methods can be used to overcome the problem of accelerated eutrophication, (sediment removal, phosphorus inactivation etc.). However, these methods have many deficiencies. Lately, using macrophytes as a way to resolve this problem is becoming more and more popular. The aim of this work was to examine the germination possibilities of white mustard (Sinapis alba L.), alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.), oats (Avena sativa L.) and lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) on Lake Palić’s sediment, as a prescreening test for their suitability for further phytoremediation. The results show that plant species can germinate and grow in early stages in such substrates, so they can be recommended for sediment phytoremediation.
The antibacterial activity of Sinapis alba seed oils was tested against oral bacteria. The active constituent of S. alba oil was identified as phenethyl isothiocyanate. Phenethyl isothiocyanate ...showed strong and moderate inhibition at 0.75 and 0.5 mg/disc, respectively, against Porphyromonas asaccharolytica, P. gingivalis and Streptococcus sobrinus. Similarly, benzoyl isothiocyanate and benzyl isothiocyanate had moderate inhibition at 0.5 mg/disc against P. asaccharolytica, P. gingivalis and S. sobrinus. These results indicate that the effectiveness of isothiocyanate derivatives against oral pathogens is related to their aromatic structure.
Yellow mustard (Sinapsis alba L.), brown mustard (Brassica juncea L.), and oriental mustard (B. juncea) have been grown in Alberta since the 1950s, but limited agronomic information specific for this ...crop is available. The objective of this study was to determine the response of mustard to fertilization, seeding date and seeding rate in southern Alberta. Field experiments were conducted at 20 field sites over a 4-yr period (1999–2002) under irrigated and dryland (fallow and stubble) conditions. Five experiments were conducted with the following treatments: (1) N fertilizer rate (0, 30, 60, 90 and 120 kg N ha
-1
), (2) urea placement (seed-placed and side-banded urea at rates of 0 to 120 kg N ha
-1
), (3) P fertilizer rate (0, 6.5, and 13.1 kg P ha
-1
), (4) S fertilizer rate (0, 10 and 20 kg S ha
-1
), and (5) seeding date (three dates at approximately 10-d intervals) and seeding rate (target plant densities of 75, 125, 175, 225, and 300 plants m
-2
). Experiment 1 was conducted with yellow mustard (AC Pennant), oriental mustard (Forge), brown mustard (Commercial Brown) and canola (Q2) (Brassica napus L.), while the remaining experiments were only conducted with yellow mustard. For maximum seed yield, mustard required 95 kg of available N Mg
-1
of potential seed yield. Potential yields were closely related to available moisture, increasing 7 to 8 kg ha
-1
for every mm increase in available moisture above a minimum moisture requirement of 90 mm. Seed-placed urea reduced plant stand at rates as low as 30 kg N ha
-1
and reduced seed yield at rates of 60 to 120 kg N ha
-1
. Fourteen of 20 sites had a greater than 3% positive yield benefit due to P fertilizer. Mustard did not benefit from S fertilizer application. Delay in seeding by 3–4 wk, compared with seeding in late April to mid-May, reduced seed yield of yellow mustard by an average of 37%. Seed yield increased with seeding rate, but the maximum gain in seed yield due to high seeding rates was only 200 kg ha
-1
, with significant increases obtained only under very dry conditions. Early seeding and adequate N fertility were the most important agronomic practices for achieving high yields of mustard in southern Alberta.

Seed germination, root and shoot length of mustard (Sinapis alba L.), cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.), barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) and maize (Zea mays L.) were measured to determine the influence of ...water quality on plant growth. Parameters were assessed after seven (corn, barley and mustard) and eight days (cucumber). The results indicate that water quality has no effect on germination, since there were no significant differences in germination percentage between treatments of all four plant species. The test plants, however, responded to changes through variability of root length (cucumber and barley) and shoot length (mustard, cucumber and maize). Given the above, germination was the least sensitive to changes in water quality. The results of this study showed that, as regards the assessment of water quality using seed germination as the parameter, deionized water was the most appropriate for mustard, distilled water for cucumber, and distilled deionized water for barley and maize. Regarding root length, deionized water was the most appropriate for mustard, tap water for cucumber, distilled water for barley and deionized water for maize. As regards shoot length, deionized water was most suitable for mustard growth, alkaline water for cucumber, and tap water for barley and maize. Apart from this, one should also consider the presence/absence of significant differences between these treatments, and instructions given by standard protocols.

During three years period (2008, 2009 and 2010), experimental fields with Sinapis alba, cultivar Domaca were established on five different localities in Serbia (Pancevo, Kacarevo, Petrovac na Mlavi, ...Kucevo and Nova Pazova) and following basic biometric parameters were calculated: mean value, analysis of variance, coefficient of variation. Analysis of variance proved statistically very significant differences in seed yields between tested localities. However, the obtained yields within the same production locality, showed very low fluctuation. The average seeds yields on Nova Pazova locality was 1295 kg/ha and represented a serious seed yield increase comparing to average seeds yield on other tested localities: Pancevo (804 kg/ha), Petrovac na Mlavi (877 kg/ha), particularly Kucevo (689 kg/ha). Except locality Nova Pazova, statistically significant increase was achieved also on locality Kacarevo (1205 kg/ha). These experiments also proved that cultivation conditions (soil type) also accounted significantly for Sinapis alba cv. Domaca higher seed yields.

The objective of the present study was to estimate the effect of different forms of sulphur on yields and qualitative characteristics of white mustard seeds in a pot trial conducted in 2004. The ...following variants were studied: O fertilizing (1); fertilizing the soil with elemental S (2) or ammonium sulphate (3) or gypsum (4); foliar application of elemental S with bentonite (5). Significantly higher yields of mustard seeds and 1000-seed weight were achieved after foliar application of S. The variants where gypsum was applied showed the highest average number of branches and pods and also straw yields. After gypsum fertilization or foliar application of S the oil concentration in the mustard seeds exceeded 25%. The proportion of seeds greyish on their surface, a sign of mildew, significantly decreased after S fertilization, especially after the foliar application of S. Some soil characteristics were variably modified after the application of the different forms of S fertilization.
