“…Cultivation of SOR is often associated with high pressure from insect pests. Flea beetles (Psylliodes spp), blossom beetles (Brassiogethes aeneus), and diamondback moths (Plutella xylostella), threaten crops and thus an extensive use of insecticides is needed (Williams 2010, Ekbom 2010. To reach an environmentally sustainable SOR production, alternative measures need to be considered.…”

Seed treatment with mineral nutrients in spring oilseed rape (SOR) under cold climatic conditions has the potential to improve the outcome of production. The objectives of this study were to investigate the effects of mineral nutrients applied as seed treatment on germination and growth of roots and biomass in SOR. In addition, seed yield and oil content were also measured. Seed vigour tests and in-field experiments were performed in Central Sweden in 2016 and 2017. Seven products with different composition of mineral nutrients were applied to the seed in a combination with binder, filler and fungicide (BFF), or applied directly onto the seed. The results showed that a treatment with mineral nutrients increased the plant size at stage BBCH 60 (early flowering stage) when the products were applied in combination with BFF in the field experiments. However, the increased plant size did not influence seed yield. Furthermore, when seeds were treated only with a nutrient product the addition of BFF decreased plant size by 10% on average and seed and crude fat yields by 4% on average. The use of BFF may thereby be questioned and is subject to further investigation.

Breeding for insect resistance in oilseed rape: Challenges, current knowledge and perspectives

Dealing with insect pests is one of the biggest challenges facing the cultivation of oilseed rape (Brassica napus, OSR). Insect pests are usually controlled using insecticides, but the increasing occurrence of insecticide-resistant populations and the socio-economic context argue against the sole use of these substances. Plant resistance is a classical and proven alternative crop protection strategy that is the basic tool of integrated pest management. However, no insect-resistant OSR cultivar is currently available on the market. Here, I review some of the constraints that make phenotyping for insect resistance particularly challenging with OSR and give perspectives to develop this resistance. Some studies have proved that breeding OSR for insect resistance could be achieved, and three strategies have been considered: introducing resistance transgenes into the OSR genome, exploiting natural variation in resistance already present in B. napus and introgressing resistance from other brassicaceous species. The white mustard, Sinapis alba, seems a particularly promising source of resistance against most of the OSR insect pests.

“…Twenty‐eight out of 57 farmers growing WOSR for harvest in the same year and region where the present study was performed had applied insecticide (Ahmed N et al ., unpublished data from an enquiry to 300 farmers in Skåne). The frequent use of pyrethroids has led to an increased incidence of insecticide resistance in this pest …”
