Consider flowering fungicide sprays soon this month to protect your oilseed rape crops…

“With oilseed rape crops looking very good at the moment around the UK and prices around the £450/tonne mark, protecting crops during flowering against sclerotinia infections may be important to protect and maximise profit margins.” says Will Ridgwell, Clayton Plant Protection.

Crops this year are generally looking better than they have done for a number of seasons and although sclerotinia pressure has been relatively low in oilseed rape so far, rainfall events can quickly change this, so protection at this timing can be critical.

With all crops in flower now, growers should consider mid-flower fungicide applications to specifically target and protect against sclerotinia.  Planning your fungicide choice will be vital and ensuring good coverage with flowering sprays is also key.
