Extended data:

The main diseases of rape are Sclerotinia sclerotiorum and virus disease. Sclerotinia sclerotiorum mostly occurs in the flowering and fruiting period of rape, and it can be prevented by spraying thiophanate or carbendazim aqueous solution. Viral diseases can be alleviated by controlling aphids.

Spraying 1 time aqueous solution of trace elements such as phosphorus, boron and manganese or compound organic fertilizer at the flowering stage of rape can prevent rape from flowering and bearing no fruit. Spraying 0.02% boric acid solution on leaves can increase the number of effective branches, pod number per plant and 1000-grain weight of rape. Spraying 2% ~ 3% aqueous solution of calcium superphosphate on the pod leaves at maturity.
