Abstract
In recent years, cruciferous crops have become widespread in temperate zone agriculture due to their fodder and oil potential (Persanowski, 1970; Gonet, 1970; Makowski and Schutt, 1973; Uteush, 1979). The popularity of their cultivation is mainly based on economic considerations, since they are grown as additive or intermediate crops and, therefore, require no additional investment. Also, the cultivation of crucifers is quite convenient with the agricultural implements available. Further, they also have a high coefficient of seed germination and tolerance towards various unfavourable environmental conditions. Some of the commonly grown species in the Ukraine are winter rape, Brassica napus (var. Oleifera D. C), spring colza, B. campestris L., winter colza, B. rapa (var. Oleifera biennis) and oilradish, Raphanus sativus (var. Oleifera metzg). Cruciferous plants represent about 4.23% of the total plant species (Malyshev, 1972). These are well represented in most Arctic regions, south of the European territory of the USSR, the republics of Central Asia and partially along the Okhotsk seashore. However, their numbers are comparatively fewer in the humid environment of the north-west USSR, the Far East, as well as in the Caucasus and mountainous regions of central Asia. Thus, their versatility in various environmental conditions is quite evident.
