Sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) is an important edible oilseed crop in the country next to groundnut and soybean. One of the major factors for reduction in area of the crop is being attributed to the occurrence of fungal and viral diseases like sunflower necrosis disease (SND) and Sunflower leaf curl virus (SuLCV) resulting in yield loss in most of the sunflower growing regions of Southern and Northern India. In Karnataka, SuLCV has been reported to occur in almost all the popular sunflower hybrids grown during kharif, rabi and summer seasons with varied intensity.

Sunflower is one of the four most important oilseed crops grown worldwide and the nutritional quality of its edible oil ranks among the best vegetable oils in cultivation. Sunflower oil has been traditionally appreciated in the world oil market. However, new emerging markets are demanding changes in oil quality for both food and non-food applications. Nutritional and functional properties determining oil quality are primarily determined by the fatty acid composition of oil. Seed oil content and composition are determined by genotypic factors and environmental conditions.

Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) is the most important cash crop and there is a demand for simultaneous increase in the productivity of cotton, edible oilseeds and fodders to fulfil the diversified needs of growing population. For this purpose, cotton-based intercropping seems to be a promising strategy. Short duration legume fodders are potential sources of nutrients during summer especially atmospheric nitrogen fixing which are supplement of inorganic fertilizers.

Mustard (Brassica spp.), family cruciferae are the major oilseed crop grow throughout India for edible oil. It is an open pollinated crop and honeybees are effective pollinators for open pollinated crops because of a lot of nectar and pollens are available on the flowers of mustard. The studies were conducted during rabi 2013-14 and 2014-15 at ARS, Kota to enhance the yield of mustard through honey bee pollinator. Mustard variety “Bio-902” was grown following all recommended agronomic practices without spraying through the crop season.

Mustard is second most important edible oilseed crop after groundnut, accounts nearly 30% of the total oilseeds produced in India. India is one of the largest rapeseed-mustard growing countries in the world, occupying the first rank in area and second in production next to China. Total area under rapeseed and mustard in India is 5.92 million hectares with a production of 6.78 million tonnes and productivity of 1145 kg ha-1 .

Groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) is a major oilseed crop of our country and edible oil economy primarily depends upon groundnut production. Intensive cropping leads to deficiency of secondary and micronutrients, which is the main constraint for low yield of groundnut. Field experiment was conducted at agricultural college farm, Mahanandi during rabi season, 2015-16 to study the response of groundnut to secondary and micronutrients.

This article focuses and reviews on the seed enhancement techniques in oilseeds, and highlights of new developments that may provide even more benefits in the future. Oilseed crops are grown primarily for the oil contained in their seeds. Oilseeds are rich in protein, the proteins in oilseeds can be fed either as part of the oil-intact seed, or as a meal from which the oil has been removed. Major objectives in oil crop improvement are enhancement of seed and oil yield, quality of oil according to its use, i.e.

Mustard is one of the important oilseed crop in the country. It contributes 26.5 % to the total domestic edible oil production. Alternaria blight is one of the major factor in the reduction of yield and quality which ranges from 15-71 % depending upon the severity of the disease. The present study was undertaken to evaluate diversity among different isolates of Alternaria brassicicola collected from various regions of Bihar and adjoining parts.

Indian mustard (Brassica juncea) is the second most important edible oilseed crop in the country after soybean. Mustard is an important source of healthy edible oil in the northern states of the country viz., Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Uttarakhand, Haryana, Punjab and Bihar. The production of edible oil in the country is lagging behind the growing demand by ever increasing population and therefore increasing its import. Preventing the loss by various biotic and abiotic stresses is one of the ways to increase the production of mustard oil.

Groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) is an important edible leguminous oilseed crop. Diseases of groundnut act as the limiting factor to its economic production. Recently, the stem rot caused by Sclerotium rolfsii is becoming severe disease of groundnut in India. Crop Losses up to 59 per cent due to stem rot disease have been reported by many researchers.

In toria the low production and productivity of local varieties is considered as one of the major constraints of traditional toria farming which has created gap between demand and supply of edible oil. Krishi Vigyan Kendra- Tirap of the ICAR-ATARI, Zone-VI, Guwahati conducted the Cluster Frontline Demonstration (CFLD) on oilseed to increase productivity and farmer income in the 12 villages during 2017- 18. Thus, 12 villages of the Tirap were selected to conduct the CFLDs on toria crop.

India is the fourth largest oilseed producer in the world. Among the edible oilseed crops cultivated in India, mustard occupying the second position after groundnut sharing 27.5 per cent in Indian economy. It is also one of the important oilseed crops of Madhya Pradesh and is commonly grown in Sidhi district which falls in Kymore Plateau and Satpura Hills zone of the state. Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Sidhi conducted 64 technological frontline demonstrations to know the yield gap between improved package of practices (IP) and farmers practices (FP) under limited irrigation conditions.

Castor is a non-edible oilseed crop, primarily grown for oil containing an unusual hydroxy fatty acid and ricinoleic acid (80–90%) of the total fatty acids. Commercial exploitation of heterosis in castor was successful in India due to the development of stable pistillate lines from a dominant and epistatic “S” type pistillate source. Diversification of pistillate sources using NES and other new sources necessitated the need for identification of diverse male combiners among the existing pool of male combiners.
