HGCA's Oilseed rape guide updated


United Kingdom
August 23, 2012

g55Originally published in 2005, the HGCA Oilseed rape guide has been revised to include information on the main lessons learnt from HGCA’s extensive oilseed rape research programme over the last seven years. The guide represents a one-stop-shop for oilseed rape agronomy and will act as an essential reference source for all growers of this increasingly popular crop.

With an increasing area of oilseed rape planted in the UK in response to high prices, this guide describes the best crop management for oilseed rape to maximise profit margins through the best possible yields for the growing environment.

This guide updates the popular 'Oilseed rape - a grower's guide' published in 2005, incorporating the latest findings from HGCA-funded research. It covers:

  • Markets
  • Variety selection
  • Determination of yield
  • Rotation planning
  • Nutrient management planning, including canopy management
  • Key diseases, pests and weeds
  • Oilseed rape management season by season
  • Harvest and storage
