Demand for oil has seen rape prices soar during the past year
“The crop drilled on 6 Sep- tember came up quite well but immediately after drilling, we went into hot dry spell with a drying wind and the fl ea beetle attacked,” says Mr Joynt. “Lack of rain didn’t help and subsequent- ly the crop failed.” Visually, the fi eld drilled on 15 September was easily the best. The crop emerged evenly, it had the best plant counts and least
grazing by adult fl ea beetle. This crop and the earlier drilled crop will now be assessed for yield at harvest. BASF market manager Lisa Hulshof said: “The combina- tion of sustained prices and the breadth and depth of research go- ing on across the industry, there are certainly reasons to be hope- ful for the future of this valuable and important break crop.”
The initiative aims to fi nd
out which varieties are less susceptible to fl ea beetle. It is also seeking information about which fertiliser rates, seed rates and drilling dates work best – and which varieties recover af- ter grazing?
Cabbage stem fl ea beetle can be beaten, says Colin Peters
Mr Peters. “Each farm and each season is unique. Yet across the country many techniques are being deployed with some suc- cess. We want to learn from those people.”
NIAB already has a large bank of data from its annual sur- vey. But Mr Peters says there is still much to learn about fl ea beetle. “A big part of this pro- ject is about developing the tools farmers need to make ef- fective management decisions,” he adds. “It’s about establishing a net- work of growers and pulling to- gether our collective experienc- es and knowledge, and sharing that, so as an industry we can develop practical approaches to combating this pest.” For more information, visit
