armers are being advised to base oilseed rape varie- ty choices this autumn on the end market – and the chal- lenges facing growers Mike Thornton, seeds and traits technical manager for agronomists ProCam, suggests an approach based on priority needs. “High yield is understand- ably near the top of many grow- ers’ wish lists with varieties – but also make sure the variety meets other needs,” he says.


Clubroot-resistant variety are


key in clubroot-infected soil. But growers should also consider the importance of meeting end mar- ket requirements, such as the is- sue of erucic acid levels, which is an increasing concern.


Currently, oilseed rape sam- ples above 5% erucic acid can- not enter the food chain, says Mr Thornton.


Anything between


2-5% erucic acid can receive sig- nifi cant price penalties. But new EU limits being proposed could re- duce the maximum level allowed to just 2%. “What’s worrying is that the number of UK oilseed rape crops found to have higher erucic acid levels has increased in recent years. There are a number of pos- sible theories for the rise. “These include contamination from seeds of cruciferous weeds or from oilseed rape volunteers containing higher erucic acid levels. One possible response, if you’re not on clubroot-infested
