Abstract

In the present work, the physiological and numerical components of canola yield affected by density and sowing system were evaluated. Two spring canola genotypes were evaluated: Hyola 61 (hybrid) and Bioaureo 2486 (open pollination) under three densities (50, 75 and 90 seeds m-2), during the 2019-2020 winter-spring cycle. The treatments were established under a randomized complete block design with four repetitions, in each of the two systems, FBS (flat bed system) and DRBS (double-row bed system), that were considered as environments. The FBS presented the highest yield (4.9 t ha-1) on average. Changes in seed yield were associated with a higher biomass production at maturity. Bioaureo 2486 exceeded by 7% the number of seeds obtained by Hyola 61 in the density of 90 plants m-2. The number of seeds per m2 was positively associated with the number of siliques per m2. However, the increase in plant density decreased the number of branches.
