This study was carried out in order to determine the effects of wastewater applications on oil content and compositions of canola (Brassica napus L.) as a pot experiment in greenhouse conditions at Suleyman Demirel University Agricultural Research and Application Center. In The study wastewater applications having different humidity levels (control: 20 kPa, Q1: 20 kPa, Q2: 35 kPa, Q3: 50 kPa, Q4: 65 kPa, and Q5: 80 kPa) were applied to summer canola (Brassica napus L. cv. Licolly) cultivar. The oil content of seed was determined by Soxhlet extraction method and fatty acid composition was determined by GC-MS. In the study, waste water applications at different kPa levels significantly influenced the canola seed oil rate and the oil proportion of the seeds ranged from 35.1% to 42.4% depending on the application. Fatty acid composition of different waste water treatments also had a significant effect on the oil forming palmitic acid, stearic acid, oleic acid and linoleic acid, linolenic acid and eicosanoic acid in canola oil ranged from 6.21% to 4.21%; from 4.15% to 2.27%; from 73.98% to 63.90%; from 17.88% to 14.59%; from 1.93% to 0.93% and from 5.12% to 3.41%, respectively.
