The yield of oilseed radish is determined by the intended use of the produce: either for seeds or for green mass or dry matter. The indicator depends on the intensity of cultivation technologies, moisture availability, and mineral nutrition.

crop Oil radish,
where this is mentioned in the description.
Green mass productivity of oilseed radish under typical conditions is 35–50 t/ha, reaching 70 t/ha with intensive technologies, while in commercial fields without fertilizer application, it varies from 22 to 36.5 t/ha. The seed productivity of modern varieties has a potential of 1.5–2.5 t/ha, with results in experimental trials of up to 26.2 dt/ha.
The most important factors in yield formation are moisture availability and mineral nutrition, with nitrogen fertilizer application providing up to a 45% yield increase. The crop's cold tolerance allows for high green mass yields in early spring plantings, as well as in stubble and post-harvest crop cycles, as it begins active growth at a temperature of 5–6 °C.
