European Countries Winter oilseed rape yield data sources?

[Pilatus]

Out of interest, I have been trying to find historical , winter oilseed rape yield data from European countries , on the internet with out much success.
Any suggestions how I might find the information would be useful?
If any particular countries average rape yields are consistently above the UK average, it would be interesting to find out the reasons why.
Thanks

Ireland had a good year last year. Flea beetle hasn't made it there yet?

Remember asking this question at a Hutchinsons meeting. Why do we seem to suffer CSFB beetle more than other countries. Didn't get very clear answers, but it was said that places such as Germany tend to get colder winters than us and this possibly sorts the larvae. Historically the Germans got higher yields than us, again a side effect of the colder temperatures as long as they got adequate snow cover.

Is Germany’s climate also more conducive to higher cereal yields, and that is why the Schleswig Holstein system of growing combinable crops was promoted by BASF, back in the 1980’s/90’s.?

Flea beetle can occur but is quite rare in WOSR here. More of an issue in SOSR.
Our low density of WOSR cropping is a big help I think.

The climate in Germany must suit it but I think they are very good at growing it too.
The fact that there are breeding programmes in Germany must help too. The U.K. has some breeding too of course.

Denmark looks to achieve very good yields . It would be good to hear from any Danish TFF members about growing rape in Denmark.
Perhaps @Knud may be able to comment

Ask the trade and they will tell you that we don't spend enough on our osr crops!

Don't forget that many of them had the derogation for neonic seed dressings that we didn't. CSFB isn't a British phenomenon.

I think the tight rotations & cropping density has been a very significant factor in the U.K.
I’m involved in trials in Ireland and I’ve always noticed how infrequent WOSR cropping in a rotation helps WOSR yield and how separation from last years WOSR stubble has a massive effect on light leaf spot (and Phoma) incidence.

How long would your definition of “ infrequent WOSR cropping in a rotation helps WOSR yield”,be?

I would suggest that any closer than 1 in 5 would a negative. This is based on a couple of rotations that I am using. It is also based on my sketchy memory of a NIAB course that I attended some years ago.
I think the % yield penalty was quite small once you went out to 1 year in 5.
