The effect of irrigation on the lipid composition in maturing taramira ( Eruca sativa , Mill) seed was studied. Decreasing the number of irrigations had an adverse effect on oil setting. Restricted irrigations affected adversely the biosynthesis of erucic acid in the oil at initial stages, though at later stages of seed development, irrigation had no such effect.
