Oilseed rape written off and cereals not drilled

摘要

Between 21 September and 20 October inclusive, it has rained every single day, with a cumulative total in that period of 148mm. Praying for rain to help the oilseed rape did the trick then.The rapeseed situation is grim. The oilseed rape that was drilled in late August/early September has, almost without exception, failed through a combination of an apparent lack of vigour, adult cabbage stem flea beetle and snuff-dry seed-beds.
