My rape just won’t grow. Was redrilled on the 22nd September. Iam getting pee'd off looking at it now.

At least its not getting hammered by CSFB like the bit I patched in on a similar date. Has it had N?

Direct drilled and in by September. Lots round here done badly. Nothing grown at all in a lot of fields since harvest, but light cultivation seems to have worked best

Sown 1st September. The little blighters had a good munch and are still active but I'm not treating again & the nice weather over the last 2 weeks means it should be ok.

Should be ok now, as the old saying goes if you throw your hat down and it lands on an osr plant you have enough for a crop.
I would be more concerned about the stem larval invasion from such a large population.

That's why I bought a sombrero.

I noticed yesterday that rape volunteers in wheat, which have emerged in the last week or two, are being compleatly mullered.
Looks like csfb is still migrating in these warm temps.
