Mercury summer rape (Brassica napus L.) is a high-erucic acid rapeseed cultivar with canola-quality meal. The oil provides a good source of erucic acid for industrial applications and the canola-quality meal can be used in the feed industry. Mercury has an average 10% yield advantage over Hero rapeseed with seed oil and protein contents comparable with Hero rapeseed. Mercury is adapted to the southern B. napus growing regions of western Canada. Key words: Rape (summer), high erucic acid-low glucosinolate, cultivar description

Hero summer rape (Brassica napus L.) is a cultivar with high concentrations of erucic acid in its seed oil and low levels of glucosinolates in the oil-free seed meal. The oil provides a good source of erucic acid for many industrial applications and the meal can be used in the feed industry. The higher erucic acid content of Hero over Reston is of considerable economic importance in the industrial oil market. Hero is adapted to the B. napus growing areas of western Canada. Key words: Rape (summer), high erucic acid-low glucosinolate, cultivar description
