[QUOTE="DrWazzock, post: 7027755, member: 2119"] The thing is, filling a field with OSR isn’t natural and as it provides a massive feast for certain pests, those pests thrive without some intervention to suppress them. There are no predators that I know of that suppress flea beetle anyway. The plant in nature can live with fleabeetle but doesn’t yield very well. Until some kind of artificial suppression of the flea beetle comes along then the jobs knackered as far as I can see: some of course will be lucky some years and get away with it due to geographical location, favourable weather etc but it will a lottery for many of us for which it isn’t worth buying a ticket in my view.
