[QUOTE="lloyd, post: 7682573, member: 11989"] Not many seed off the combine as its unreliable and hybrid seed is expensive. You can grow hybrid rape as late as mid Sep but conventional wants to be in by late August.It's the neonic seed dressing that got banned which was very effective against the beetles ,you can still spray insecticide against them but the target aim is to hit the beetles which seem to only come out in numbers at anti social times of day. It's no where near as effective as the seed treatment and can take multiple passes. Farmers are now using companion crops or going very early so the OSR plant grows quickly away and hopefully the beetle numbers are less than a fortnight later. [/QUOTE]
