This spring and early summer most regions received enough rain, but the sum of active temperatures was lower than usual. Such weather conditions affected plant growth and development: flowering and pod formation take place over a longer period, which can positively influence the crop's productivity if the supply of nutrients is sufficient.
For forming the rapeseed yield, supplying plants with macro- and microelements in the period from budding to the start of seed ripening is important. Pod fill, and therefore the yield level, depends on balanced nutrition in this period. We therefore recommend that after flowering, together with insecticides, rapeseed be foliar fed with the complex fertilizer ECOLINE Oilseed (Chelates) 1.0–1.5 l/ha, developed specially to improve the quantity and quality of productivity of oilseed crops.
