Seed yield, oil content, and fatty acid composition of stock (Matthiola incana) under saline irrigation

The influence of irrigation with saline water on the seed yield, oil content, and quality of stock (Matthiola incana), an oilseed plant rich in omega-3, was studied under greenhouse and field conditions as part of a study to assess the potential of stock to replace low cash field crops in areas of marginal water use due to water scarcity. Water of electrical conductivity =6 dS/m did not have a negative effect on yield parameters. Total yield, seed number, and oil content were not affected by salinity, whereas the content of omega-3 was significantly increased.
