Abstract :
Field experiment was conducted to evaluate the quantitative and qualitative response of six Canola hybrids/cultivars viz. Hyola-401, Omega-I, Omega-II, Bulbul-98, Rainbow and Cyclone. Crop growth, agronomic and qualitative traits were recorded by standard procedures. The results showed that hybrid Omega-II produced maximum leaf area index (LAI), crop growth rate (CGR) and total dry matter accumulation (TDM) and also out yielded than other hybrids/cultivars, i.e. 2439 kg ha-1. Whereas, it was observed that Hyola-401 gave the highest oil contents (44.51%) and Omega-I produced the highest protein content (25.25%) amongst all the treatments. It is concluded that Omega-II cultivar performed better and attained maximum yield and quality under the agro-ecological conditions of Faisalabad.
