How is your hybrid rape going , did it establish quicker then conventional .

Hi all I know oilseed rape is a bit of a dirty word at the moment, and cabbage stem flea beetle even more so, but we are doing a survey to see if we can get a good picture of what tactics are being used to "combat" CSFB during both establishment and for the larval stage, and to see just what...

It's very disappointing to see that my crop of Imperial has lodged across most of the field - whilst a small area had too many plants, a lot of the field had a population of 15 - 20 plants per square metre and I was expecting stems like tree trunks. However even in area with 10 ppm2 the stems...

Anyone out there know of a Club root resistant Clearfield OSR variety either out to drill this August or close to becoming available ?

What is everybody’s views on this please? We’ve seen 200-250hp tractors handling 6m folding power harrows easily yet the general consensus is they can’t manage a front seed tank and coulter bar as well as the power Harrow? We can’t see why not but the trade we’ve spoken to say most people are...
