Winter Oilseed Rape

An oilseed rape crop requires nitrogen, phosphorous, potassium, magnesium, calcium, sulphur, boron, iron, manganese, molybdenum and zinc. Proper fertilising with the appropriate nutrients for each stage of the growth cycle can help your plants grow healthily and it can help produce higher quality yields.

Deficiency in any of these nutrients could reduce yield, hinder crop establishment and development and it can make your oilseed rape crops more vulnerable to environmental stress and disease.

Give your oilseed rape crop the nutrition it needs

Regular applications of our range of smart liquid fertilisers can help improve root development and plant growth as well as improving branching, stem rigidity and seed development. They can also help your oilseed rape plants become more resilient to stress protect the plants against stress while reducing the amount of nitrogen that is lost to the environment.

We recommend three applications of Delta in Autumn and another application in February. This should be followed by applications of TipTop in spring, and Rainbow Wave and Calflux flowering.

“Last year I grew Nelson winter wheat for a seed contract on a split field trial. It was drilled late on drought-prone land. It yielded 7.5 t/ha, which was 1.5t/ha higher than the standard programme without Cope Nutrition Plus.”

“We started using the nutrition programme just over six years ago,” he says. “We now use it across the whole of our 2000 hectare farm, covering winter wheat, winter barley, spring barley, record breaking Merlin spring oats, and spring beans.”
