Oilseed Rape Open Day

Hosted with kind permission of Scottish Agronomy.

Thursday 16th April 2026

10am – 12pm followed by a light lunch

This is a unique opportunity to walk the plots, compare varieties side‑by‑side, and speak directly with our technical experts about the challenges and opportunities of growing oilseed rape in Scotland.

What the day will cover:

• Side‑by‑side comparisons across our latest recommended OSR varieties
• OSR performance under Scottish conditions, including local establishment challenges
• Managing CSFB pressure and exploring genetic solutions to support establishment and resilience
• Growing OSR in a high Light Leaf Spot (LLS) region, and how the right resistance traits can help mitigate risk
• How genetics can help you mitigate risk, improve crop consistency, and protect margins
• Practical husbandry advice to help maximise what’s already in the ground
• Why OSR remains one of the most profitable break crops – and how to capture that value on your farm

Who is this event for?
Farmers, agronomists, and anyone looking to make informed decisions about OSR variety selection, establishment strategy, or integrated crop management in Scottish conditions.

Why attend?

• Gain clear, practical insights you can take straight back to the field
• Speak directly with technical specialists and breeders
• Understand which varieties offer the greatest resilience against regional disease pressures
• See how new genetics support modern rotational planning and sustainable husbandry
• Free lunch included
• BASIS points available!

This is a free event, but registration is required.
