Rapeseed [ Brassica napus (L.)], white mustard [ Sinapis alba (L.)], and Indian mustard [ Brassica juncea (L.) Czern. et Coss] belong to the family Brassicaceae . These crop species synthesize substantial amounts of fat, protein, and glucosinolates (GLS). Brassica species can differ in their concentrations of fat, protein, and GLS in response to S fertilization. Plant material for chemical analyses was harvested from a field experiment conducted in northeastern Poland in 2005 to 2008. The examined species of oilseed crops were fertilized or not fertilized with S applied to soil at optimal rates for each species based on S uptake and forecast seed yield. On average, S fertilization increased seed yield of oilseed crops by 8%, but it did not induce significant differences in the concentrations of fat and protein in seeds. Sulfur fertilization increased total GLS concentrations by 0.22 and 0.27 µmol g −1 dry matter (DM) in the root residues of white mustard and Indian mustard, respectively, and by 0.52 µmol g −1 DM in winter rapeseed. Total GLS concentration in winter rapeseed straw decreased by 0.18 µmol g −1 DM with S application. In white mustard straw, S fertilization increased total GLS concentration by 0.27 µmol g −1 DM. Sulfur fertilization increased total GLS concentrations in the seeds of spring rapeseed, white mustard and Indian mustard by 11.43, 41.75 and 32.05 µmol g −1 DM, respectively. Sulfur fertilization has a significant effect on the seed yield and biomass quality of oilseed crops of the family Brassicaceae.

The aim of this study was to determine the quality of flour, dough and bread made from the grain of winter wheat grown in a continuous cropping system or after oil plants (winter rapeseed, spring rapeseed, white mustard, brown mustard) in production systems of different intensity. The above products, obtained from wheat grain harvested in three growing seasons (2006/2007, 2007/2008, 2008/2009), were analyzed to determine the whiteness, ash content and water absorption capacity of flour, the development time, stability, softening, resistance, extensibility and energy of dough, and the baking volume and yield of bread. The grain of winter wheat grown in a continuous cropping system produced whiter flour with a lower ash content than the grain of winter wheat plants grown after oil plants. The intensification of wheat grain production contributed to flour darkening and a decrease in flour ash content. Monoculture had no adverse effects on the water absorption capacity of flour, the development time, stability or softening of dough. Intensification of production improved water absorption of flour, the development time, stability and softening of dough. The extensibility and energy of dough made from flour obtained from wheat grown in a continuous cropping system were substantially lower, compared with wheat grown after winter rapeseed. Intensification of production also improved dough extensibility and energy. The resistance of dough made from wheat grain produced under medium-input technology was significantly lower, compared with grain produced under low-input technology. Intensification of wheat grain production contributed to a greater increase in the yield of bread made from winter wheat grown after oil plants (primarily winter rapeseed and brown mustard), compared with monoculture.
