Effect of disulfoton on growth of aphid-free oilseed rape

Abstract
In a field trial the effects of disulfoton on the growth of oilseed rape (Brassica napus L.) sown on 2 dates were determined in the absence of aphids. Disulfoton increased the size of the cotyledons and of the first leaf of the seedlings in one sowing, and plant height in both sowings. Disulfoton had no effect on seed yield or oil percentage.
