Yield, Pests, and Water Use of Durum and Selected Crucifer Oilseeds in Two‐Year Rotations

Cool‐season oilseed crops are potential feedstock for biofuel production, but few studies have compared oilseed‐durum ( Triticum durum Desf.) rotations on yield, quality, water use, and pests associated with crops. We conducted an experiment under dryland conditions during 2007 to 2010 near Culbertson, MT, comparing crop productivity, water balance, and key weed and arthropod pests of 2‐yr oilseed‐durum rotations under zero tillage.
