Oilseed Rape
Cropping Programme
Increased Yields
The EcoCulture crop programme seeks to increase yields through a greater understanding of growth and how it is affected by various environmental factors.
Higher Quality, Higher Profitability
Our programme improves both the production and quality of the fruit, obtaining higher profitability rates for the farmer.

For improved flowering and increased pod set. Use during the flowering period as a single spray or for optimum performance, use at the beginning of flowering and at the end of flowering/pod formation. For optimum performance, use at the beginning of flowering and at the end of flowering / pod formation. |

Considerations
Normally, both the establishment of nitrogen fertilizer doses and the application date constitute a complex problem that arises differently for the farmer in each crop cycle. When making this decision, a series of factors must be considered, such as:
- Crop needs
- Soil reserves
- Climatic factors
- Residues from the previous crop
The difference between the absorption of nitrogen by the crop and its availability in the soil theoretically determines the quantities to be applied. However, it is important to introduce a corrective index, which refers to the real effectiveness of fertilization. It is considered that under field conditions it varies between 40 to 80%, although when there is a water deficit or fertilization is carried out at sowing, the N efficiency may be lower.
