Seed and Seedling Traits for the Rapeseed Yield Improvement

Seed quality is from the agronomic view the cheapest agrotechnical measures.The efficiency of seed vigour and seedling stress tolerance is very important for subsequent plant growth and development. Especially efficiency of water utilization in time of germination in drought conditions is also one of the basic factors influencing successful germination, field emergence rate and following plant growth and development. Mainly, in the low input system, is suitable using of the the seeds with the very good quality, vitality, efficiency of water utilization and with the resistance to the soil stresses during germination.
