Our winter oilseed rape is presenting itself satisfactorily. We decided at short notice to sow at the end of September in view of the rains announced for the first week of October.

Actually, this appointment is too late. Drilled were 55 ^plants/m2 of the varieties Shrek from Rapool, Expression and Extime from Monsanto and Invigor 1165 from BASF.

As a row spacing we have chosen 12.5 cm.
