A workshop conducted at the International Rapeseed Congress in 2019 brought together production and agronomic experts from a number of major rapeseed-producing countries, including Canada, Germany, France, U.K., Poland and Australia, to discuss agronomy issues in global canola production. Big issues include pests, pesticide regulations and more.
