Autumn nutrition is important to get the oilseed crop off to the best possible start. Getting OSR established and away rapidly is the best way to try to counteract the various pests that are rife at that time of year.
The importance of micronutrients in oilseed rape
The importance of micronutrients in oilseed rape
When it comes to micronutrients, oilseed rape, like any other crop has specific requirements which if not met will result in yield losses. manganese and magnesium requirements are highest in, but boron and molybdenum deficiencies are the most common.

How to increase oilseed rape yield
How to increase oilseed rape yield
The key components of yield in oilseed rape are number of plants per unit area, number of pods per plant, number of seeds per pod and the individual seed weight. High yields come from good crop management including a balanced plant nutrition programme.
How to optimise oilseed rape green area index
How to optimise oilseed rape green area index
The construction of the oilseed rape canopy and development of green area index is greatly influenced by nutrition, from fertiliser application at drilling through to applications of the key nutrients in the spring.
How to extend oilseed rape canopy duration
How to extend oilseed rape canopy duration
The oilseed rape canopy should be kept green for as long as possible so both leaves and pod can contribute towards seed fill and yield. Crop nutrition, particularly nitrogen and magnesium are important to achieve this.
How to increase oilseed rape oil content
How to increase oilseed rape oil content
The oil content in an oilseed rape crop depends on seeds per pod, pods per plant and plant per area. To obtain a good quality crop with the desired oil content, the photosynthetic activity must be maximized.

Increase your oilseed yields with foliar nitrogen
Applying foliar nitrogen towards the end of flowering keeps the green leaf canopy healthy for longer to aid the seed fill process; therefore creating more yield potential.

Managing oilseed canopies in early spring
Managing the nutrition of oilseed crops in spring can be a bit tricky with crops often at different stages and needing to be treated slightly differently in order to create the most efficient crop canopy.

Micronutrients - deficiency prevention is better than cure
When it comes to micronutrients, prevention of a deficiency before crop losses occur is always better than correction after the damage has been done.
What is the value of nitrogen fertiliser
What is the value of nitrogen fertiliser?
The response of crops to nitrogen is both predictable and well established. The optimum rate of nitrogen depends on both the value of the crop together with the cost of the nitrogen and is calculated to give the best margin over fertiliser cost.
