Farming Systems, Integrated Crop Management and Winter Oilseed Rape Production

摘要: Farming systems for arable cropping, should, in the future, combine sustainability with environmental acceptability, be high-yielding yet energy efficient, providing a good net return. Integrated crop management aims to achieve sustainable farming system by using natural resources and regulating mechanisms replace polluting inputs. In oilseed rape production, nitrogen inputs machinery use are greater than many other crops that reduces these is desirable. The attacked more pests most consequently pesticide also high; increased of control provided parasitoids, predators pathogens would improve acceptability. An Crop Management (ICM) System can designed resource-efficient enhance biological pests, reduced tillage no ploughing, seed mix provide an internal trap reduce pest damage, plant density increase parasitisation, insecticide application thresholds. This IPM strategy exemplified EU project MASTER (QLK5-CT-2001-01447).
