Aims Enhanced nitrogen (N) and water uptake from deep soil layers may increase resource
use efficiency whilst maintaining yield under stressed conditions. Winter oilseed rape …

Water and nitrogen (N) are the most limiting factors to plant productivity globally, but we lack
a critical understanding of how water availability impacts N dynamics in agricultural systems …

Large amounts of nitrogen (N) fertilizers are used in the production of oilseed rape.
However, as low-input methods of crop management are introduced crops will need to …

Nitrate (NO3−) and ammonium (NH4+) are the main inorganic nitrogen (N) sources
absorbed by oilseed rape, a plant that exhibits genotypic differences in N efficiency. In our …

Modifying farming practices combined with breeding has the potential to improve water and
nutrient use efficiency by regulating root growth, but achieving this goal requires …

Oilseed rape, a crop requiring a high level of nitogen (N) fertilizers, is characterized by low N
use efficiency. To identify the limiting factors involved in the N use efficiency of winter oilseed …

Nitrogen (N) is the quantitatively most important nutrient in cropping systems. The use of
nitrate as a mineral fertilizer is highly energy-intensive and causes greenhouse gas …

Background and Aims Despite its high capacity to take up nitrate from the soil, winter oilseed
rape (Brassica napus) is characterized by a very low N recovery in the reproductive tissues …

In order to optimize nitrogen (N) fertilization and to reduce the environmental impact of
oilseed rape without decreasing yield, a clearer understanding of N dynamics inside the …
