WEED PEST and DISEASE identification in crops (OSR)?

Weed pests and diseases in oilseed rape (OSR) can significantly impact crop yield and quality. Common weeds include species like cleavers and wild mustard, which compete for nutrients and light. Diseases such as blackleg and downy mildew can cause severe damage to plants, leading to reduced vigor and harvest losses. Effective identification involves monitoring for symptoms, understanding the life cycles of pests and diseases, and using integrated management strategies to minimize their impact.
