The yield of mechanically harvested rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) can be increased by optimum plant density and row spacing

To determine the effects of plant density and row spacing on the mechanical harvesting of rapeseed (Brassica napus L.), field experiments were conducted. Higher plant density produced fewer pods and reduced the yield per plant. Wider row spacing at higher plant densities increased seeds per pod and...
