Rapeseed in the south of Poland in good condition

Tridge summary

The article reports on the current state of rapeseed plants in Lower Silesia, Poland, highlighting their good condition after a favourable autumn season. The warm October weather allowed the plants to grow well, with each producing 8-12 leaves, given they were adequately supplied with NPK and managed properly. There was concern about potential autumn pests, especially aphids, but they did not pose a significant threat in the southern regions. However, staffing shortages and heavy rains in late August and early September have caused issues, leading to plant deaths or delays in emergence in some areas. Despite these challenges, the overall condition of the plants is deemed quite good, with a dozen days remaining before the rapeseed goes into winter dormancy.

Rapeseed in good condition - conditions were favourable Rapeseeds properly supplied with NPK used the autumn quite well - they produced 8 - 12 leaves each, and at the same time the leaves are well developed in volume. Warm October, on the one hand, allowed the plants to create a large mass of leaves, but on the other hand, only properly managed plants could develop a deep and properly developed root system (at least 20 cm long) in these conditions. Of course, along with the dynamic development, it was necessary to "supervise" the above-ground part of the rape, so that the root neck was not too high, and at the same time had the right diameter (about 0.8 - 1 cm). It is assumed that rapeseed needs about 75 - 80 days of autumn vegetation (depending on temperatures and general meteorological conditions). If we take into account good moisture conditions at the time of sowing, and then favorable weather in September and October in most of south-western Poland, we will notice that for ...
