That's OIL.
Read the reference I supplied. LZ7632 variety, actually. Don't know for sure if it is GMO or not though, now that I went back and read the reference - that needs to be determined, but I cannot find any more infor on that variety right now. I am assuming it is a high oleic from more or less "traditional" plant breeding practices, or at least something (hopefully) short of full blown GMO, such as is the case with this one: "The 45A37 and 46A40 lines of canola (Brassica napus) were developed through the combination of chemical mutagenesis, to achieve the high oleic acid trait, and traditional breeding with the registered canola varieties Stellar and Apollo, to achieve the low linoleic acid trait. " http://www.essentialbiosafety.info/dbase.php?action=ShowProd&data=45A37%2C+4 6A40 ----- Also, just to clarify the GMO stuff a bit: "GMO stands for Genetically Modified Organism. This term is used by policy-making groups to describe genetically engineered organisms. The term is politically and economically relevant but not scientifically descriptive. Many organisms are genetically modified through naturally occurring or chemically induced changes in the DNA composition of genes (see Fig. 1 below). STS soybean varieties and IMI corn hybrids are recent examples of genetically modified crops that are not GMOs. The unique herbicide resistance traits of these non-GMO varieties were derived from mutations or changes in genes that were already in the plant chromosomes. The modification that sets GMOs apart from non-GMOs is the insertion of a new gene or genes into the plant chromosomes through genetic engineering (Fig. 1). These new genes are called transgenes. "Transgenic" is a more specific description for plants that contain a transgene; however, GMO is becoming the more widely used adjective for these crops." http://cropwatch.unl.edu/archives/1999/crop99-12.htm Regards, Edward Beggs, BES, MSc http://www.biofuels.ca on 6/5/02 2:02 AM, Camillo Holecek at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Sorry: Are you refering to crop yield or oil yield per hectare ??????? > > 2.9 metric (?) tonns per hectare rape seed (grains!) is pretty poor, > looks to me like a try with precision farming techniques combined with > reduced or no chemicals use.... > > We keep hearing here of top yields around 4.0 to 4.3 mt (grains) per > hectare of 00 type rape seeds in Europe. > > 2.9 mt OIL yield per hectare are unheard of, as this would mean > something above 7 mt grains per hectare (assuming 40% oil content). > > So, please clarify! > > regards, > Camillo Holecek > > > -----UrsprŸngliche Nachricht----- > Von: Neoteric Biofuels Inc.
