[QUOTE="neilo, post: 8149523, member: 348"] I grow a few acres of Massif main crop turnips every year (not Green Globe as far lower yielding and less palatable ime), to spread risk a bit. They are more vigorous plants than swedes, but less than stubble turnips, so need protecting from flea beetle when they’re small. Once established, they grow like the clappers, but we have found that they leaves can get diseased in the Autumn, just as they should be filling the bulbs. The first frost kills the disease and they grow fresh leaf again, but bulb filling time has been lost by then. I sprayed them with a fungicide at the first sign of disease last year (spread from neighbour’s OSR I suspect?) and it transformed the crop, and eventual yield. [/QUOTE]
