Editorial

Happy new year 2026!

After the successful Technical Meeting in Cambridge in 2025, the focus is now fully on preparations for the big International Rapeseed Congress (IRC) in Paris 2027.

Much of the preparatory work is expected to be about how rapeseed can meet future demands for climate adaptation.

From all over Europe, we hear how insect control is a key issue to solve with fewer mode of actions in rapeseed, a crop that both loves and is loved by pollinating insects. Serious pathogens such as clubroot continue to conquer agricultural lands, climate is a serious threat for some and an opportunity for others, but I am sure science will overcome the challenges in our fantastic crop.

Science will overcome and will do it quicker if we cooperate, network, and meet around the globe.

Another meeting that needs a host is the next Technical Meeting in 2029. The board asks for candidates, and we hope to see some prospects in the first half of 2026.

May the coming year bring you prosperity, good health, and immense joy.

Looking forward to hearing from you in the upcoming oilseed activities in 2026.

Insights from the GCIRC Technical Meeting 2025 at Cambridge, April 9-10, 2025

The GCIRC Technical Meeting, hosted by NIAB at Cambridge on April 9 and 10, 2025, covered a wide range of topics, from rapeseed nutrition and fertilization to genetics, disease and pest management, and regulatory developments in genome editing.

Most of the presentations and posters are available for GCIRC members on the GCIRC website.

We warmly thank Colin Peters and NIAB for their involvement in preparing the logistics and program of this 2025 GCIRC Technical Meeting.

This short report has been elaborated with the support of the Terres Inovia team, present at the meeting.

Rapeseed nutrition and fertilization

Five presentations were devoted to rapeseed nutrition and fertilization, two of which focused on cultivars nitrogen use efficiency (NUE), and two on estimating greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions associated with this crop.

The first presentation by Adam Stepien (PSPO) concerned the methodology used in Poland to estimate GHG emissions from rapeseed cultivation, in order to contribute to the European comparison database. The results established a median of 2.3 tons of CO2 equivalent per hectare of rapeseed, with more than 50% of emissions linked to the use of nitrogen fertilizers. These nitrogen-related emissions were divided into 50% due to N2O emissions from the soil, mainly caused by nitrogen fertilizers, and 25% due to fertilizer production and transport. With a yield average in Poland of 4 tons per hectare, emissions per ton of seed produced were 0.6 t CO2eq/t of rapeseed. One limitation of this approach was the lack of uniformity in the calculation method between countries, which makes result comparisons difficult.

Christina Baxter (ADAS, UK) presented the work carried out in Great Britain by the “YEN zero” sub-group of the Yield Enhancement Network (YEN), which aims both to reduce agricultural GHG emissions and to increase yields. Farmers, participating in this network, calculated that their median emissions for rapeseed amounted to 2.5 t CO2eq/ha. Rapeseed appeared as the crop generating the highest GHG emissions per hectare, a level very close to that of bread wheat, but twice that of oats and five times that of protein peas. The distribution of rapeseed emissions within the network was as follows: 60% came from nitrogen fertilizers (20% for production and transport, 40% for N2O emissions in the field), 25% were due to denitrification of crop residues, 12% to fuel, and 2% to the production and transport of non-nitrogen fertilizers. The network's recommendations for reducing these emissions included optimizing the nitrogen fertilizers use (via drip lines or nitrification inhibitors), using cover crops, and choosing low-carbon crops for crop rotation.

Emile Lerebour (Terres Inovia, France) presented an overview of nitrogen fertilization calculation methods in France and worked to develop a new dynamic method based on estimating the nutritional status of plants during cultivation.

Regarding nitrogen use efficiency (NUE), a Canadian presentation (Sally Vail, AAFC) traced its evolution for different rapeseed varieties since the 1960s. The introduction of hybrids initially led to a drop in NUE due to their high nitrogen requirements for low yield gains compared to landraces. NUE has since returned to the level of the old lines thanks to increased yield potential and the associated slight increase in nitrogen requirements. These presentations highlighted the importance of proximity sensors and remote sensing in assessing nitrogen uptake by the different genotypes studied.

Trials conducted in Switzerland (Alice Baux, Ivan Hittpold) on the association of rapeseed with frost-sensitive legumes were unable to demonstrate any significant difference between associated and non-associated methods in terms of rapeseed nutrition, possibly due to the high levels of nitrogen availability in the soil. The work is continuing.

Finally, Anne-Charlotte Wallenhammar (SLU, Sweden) demonstrated the benefits and limitations of rapeseed-legume associations in organic farming under Swedish conditions for improving nitrogen availability and limiting the impact of stem weevils. The presentation concluded that these combinations were beneficial in nitrogen-poor conditions and that slow-growing clover species should be used to limit competition, with planting in the second half of August to ensure legume growth.

Agronomy and genetics

Combining agronomy and genetics, the work of the Australian GRDC (Matthew Nelson) focused on the possibility of deeper sowing to exploit residual moisture. One issue raised was the hypocotyl length as a limiting factor for deep sowing, as Australian varieties have relatively short hypocotyls compared to foreign varieties. A phenotyping method, under controlled conditions was developed, confirming in the field that varieties with the best emergence performance were those with long hypocotyls. A project has been launched in Australia to develop these varieties.

The work of the JKI (Germany) presented by Daniel Valle Torres, involving various devices (300 trials of F1 hybrids in different environments and cultivation practices, plant-by-plant studies with genomic data) showed differences in genetic and physiological responses, and the value of combining genomic and phenomic prediction to improve the predictive capacity for nitrogen efficiency traits.

Liang Guo (Huazhong Agricultural University, China) focused on the phenotypic plasticity of rapeseed oil content, which depended on light and temperature conditions, in response to climate change. Beyond adjusting sowing dates, research was moving towards the development of high-oil-content varieties adapted to reduced light conditions.

A Canadian presentation (Habibur Rahman, University of Alberta) explored the search for genetic diversity through crosses between Brassica napus and Brassica oleracea. This work revealed the existence of alleles of interest for agronomic traits and promising heterosis effects on grain yield in F1 hybrids.

Mukhlesur Rahman (North Dakota University) also presented work undertaken in the United States, notably the identification of sources of resistance to phoma and verticillium, with marker mapping.

Pest management

Four presentations dealt with pest management.

Agroscope (Eve-Anne Laurent, Alice Baux, and Yvan Hiltpold) presented the effects of combining rapeseed with field beans (winter or spring) to reduce damage caused by various insects (winter flea beetle, rapeseed stem weevil, pollen beetle). An original approach using artificial plants made it possible to distinguish the effects of physical or visual barriers from chemical effects (volatile compounds). The results showed a reduction in cruciferous flea beetle bites for the three tested methods and a reduction in adult winter flea beetle pressure with field beans. In spring, stem weevil attacks and pollen beetle pressure were lower for all three methods. Yields were significantly higher with spring field beans, with no significant difference compared to winter field beans. The identified mechanisms of action were visual or physical confusion (suggested by artificial plants) and chemical confusion, leading to behavioral disturbances in insects. Except for the winter flea beetle, all three mechanisms appeared to be involved.

The Agroscope team (Eve-Anne Laurent) also assessed the resistance/tolerance of varieties to a range of pests but found no correlation between insect pressure and yield in their network, with more than 80% of yield variability explained by the interaction between location and site. The impact of insect pressure was considered marginal. Hybrid varieties showed higher yield potential under high flea beetle larvae pressure. Only a weak correlation was found between collar diameter and the number of flea beetles per plant.

The presentation by Terres Inovia (Céline Robert, Nicolas Cerrutti) focused on the three work packages of the French R2D2 project aimed at reducing insect damage on a regional scale (1,300 ha): agronomic levers in fields, behavioral manipulation techniques (intercropping traps), and improvement of biological control.

Similarly, Samantha Cook (Rothamsted Research, UK) emphasized the future of integrated management strategies and the combination of prophylactic levers (from plot to landscape scale) to reduce dependence on insecticides, before applying appropriate decision rules as a last resort. In particular, she highlighted the use of technological tools such as connected traps to facilitate field monitoring. These approaches elicited mixed reactions from the audience, who emphasized the difficulties of dissemination and adoption by farmers without financial compensation.

Diseases and genetics

Bruce Fitt (UK, University of Hertfordshire) presented a summary of innovative British research on the implications of climate change for oilseed pests and diseases. This research predicted an increase in the severity of Phoma in the United Kingdom, but a decrease in cylindrosporiosis. It was shown that climate change had contrasting effects on different diseases, potentially affecting the resistance of oilseed rape and altering the competitive relationships between pathogens. It was highlighted that the rise in temperature (from 15 to 25°C) caused loss of resistance of the major Rlm6 gene of Phoma (Leptospaeria maculans). Furthermore, if contamination by L. biglobosa preceded that by L. maculans, the growth of L. maculans could be prevented. The optimal growth temperatures differed between the two pathogens.

Henrik Stotz and Yongju Huang detailed work carried out at the University of Hertfordshire on the temperature sensitivity of other phoma resistances (Rlm4, Rlm7-1, Rlm7-2) and continued to model ascospore emissions for L. maculans and L. biglobosa, resulting in a model that predicts 50% of spore emissions. For cylindrosporiosis, spore emissions were annual and the development of the disease was dependent on “warm” winters (UK conditions), favored by temperature and humidity conditions.

Phoma was also the subject of a short presentation by Kevin King on the first detections in Europe of Plenodomus biglobosus (Leptosphaeria biglobosa) canadensis’ and resistance to triazole fungicides in L. maculans.

Janetta Niemann presented new markers of resistance to phoma.

Marian Thorsted (SEGES, Denmark) presented the use of artificial intelligence (AI) based on image analysis for the assessment of cylindrosporiosis attacks, with results considered equivalent or superior to visual ratings, although the model has not yet been tested under conditions of multi-disease attacks or weed infestations.

Finally, Andreas von Tiedemann's work on the regulation of dormancy and germination of soil-borne diseases (verticillium and clubroot) showed that root exudates were essential for spore germination and that the bacterial microbiome played a fundamental role as a suppressor or inhibitor.

Gene Editing and NGT

The panel on genome editing, which brought together Mario Caccamo (Niab), Petra Jorash (Euroseeds), and Tony Mora (Cibus), discussed how science and politics can work together to facilitate the adoption of precision breeding crops (NGT).

Petra Jorash presented the regulatory status, noting that the European Commission's proposal (2023) was still under discussion, requiring another two years of procedures for its implementation after debates in the European Parliament.

Political debates focueds on intellectual property and patent filings, particularly for NGT1, with implications for traceability and the reuse of genetic resources. The Parliament opposed the Commission on patents and called for GMO-type post-registration monitoring for NGTs, Category 1, which was a red line for seed companies. France specifically opposes the recognition of herbicide resistance in Category 1.

The limit of 20 transformations did not have the same impact depending on the ploidy of the species, leading to a more limited number of cumulative transformations for a polyploid species (e.g., 4 or 5 for a tetraploid). This number of 20 modifications, taken from the scientific literature reviewed by the Commission, was considered by the European Union alone, with other countries focusing more on the nature of the modifications. Traceability was a major challenge, while changes in nucleotides were detectable, it was very difficult to guarantee the origin of these changes (genomic editing or natural). If a seed producer adds new modifications to material that has already reached the 20-change limit, that material would move from category 1 to category 2. From the seed producers' point of view, excessive regulatory requirements (data to be provided, post-marketing monitoring) could neutralize efficiency gains, leading them to favor conventional breeding.

Farm visit

The farm visit took place on a very large farm (2,000 ha) where mustard (whose cycle prevents flea beetle attacks) had replaced rapeseed while maintaining excellent profitability. The farm, managed for optimal profitability and to supply traditional British mustard production, used very powerful machinery and modern equipment for high-throughput operations.

GCIRC General Assembly

The current information on the life of GCIRC has been reported to and validated by the General Assembly: activity, evolution of membership, financial situation, provisional budget.

As usual at the time of the Technical Meeting, a new Board has been established by the GA, involving some changes. Former and present boards are listed below:

See List on PdF file

Matthew Nelson/CSIRO will replace Rob Wilson for Australia.

Marcin Matuszszak/IHAR-PIB will replace Katarzyna Mikolajczyk for Poland.

Concerning France, Etienne Pilorgé will retire just before/or at the time of the congress. Vincent Jauvion/Terres Inovia will work with Etienne Pilorgé for Secretary and should replace him afterwards.

We are still looking for a representant of the USA, where canola development is progressing.

Next to the General Assembly, the Board elected Albin Gunnarson, Sweden, as President.

We derogated to the usual practice to elect a president from the country organizing the next IRC, in order to facilitate an optimum coordination between GCIRC and the organisation team. The next congress being scheduled in France, and the GCIRC Secretariat being also in France for historical and practical reasons, choice has been made to elect a president from another European country, namely Sweden, with Albin Gunnarson.

This transition has been illustrated at the Gala Dinner: many thanks to Rob Wilson for his involvement in the GCIRC and his essential contribution to the success of the IRC16 in Sydney, despite the disrupted international context. Welcome to Albin.

EU reaches deal on gene-edited crops

PARIS, Dec 4 (Reuters) - The European Union has reached a preliminary deal on how to regulate gene-edited crops in a move that could ease the development of new varieties in a region long wary of biotech innovations in food.

The EU has debated for years how to regulate so-called new genomic techniques (NGT), which can edit the genetic material of an organism without introducing traits from another species.

Proponents say the technology accelerates naturally occurring mutations and offers a response to climate and environmental pressures, while critics bracket it with genetically modified organisms as a risk to ecosystems and health.

Under an agreement struck overnight by representatives of EU countries and the European Parliament, a first category of NGT crops will be regulated like conventional crops and not require special labelling except for seeds.

However, a second category deemed to feature more complex modifications will fall under the EU's stricter GMO regime, including obligatory product labelling. This category will include herbicide-tolerant varieties.

To address concerns over control of NGT patents, the agreement included a requirement for crop developers to disclose patent details in a public database.

"The regulation will allow us to develop new plant varieties that are more resilient to climate change and require less fertilisers or pesticides," Jacob Jensen, the minister for food, agriculture and fisheries in Denmark, which holds the rotating EU presidency, said in a statement on Thursday.

EU farming association Copa-Cogeca welcomed a "historic agreement", saying it was the only initiative so far under the bloc's Green Deal to offer practical solutions for farmers.

Environmental protection association Friends of the Earth condemned the loosening of rules for "new GMOs", calling the deal a "free pass given to the biotech industry".

The preliminary agreement still needs to be voted on by the European Parliament and the EU's council of member states before being put into law.

Evolution of the FAO vegetable oils price index: oils prices still at high levels.

In October 2025, the FAO oilseed price index continued to increase for the third consecutive month, gaining 1.2 points (1.3 percent) from September and 1.8 percent from its year-earlier level. (…) The continued strengthening of the oilseed index reflected higher prices of soybeans and sunflower seed, while rapeseed quotations remained virtually stable. (…)

The oil-meal price index was virtually steady in October as stable soymeal values, the dominant component of the index, offset declines in rapeseed and sunflower meal quotations. (…)

As for vegetable oils, the increase in the price index reflected higher quotations for palm, rapeseed, soy and sunflower oils. International palm oil prices rebounded slightly after easing in the previous month, supported by expectations of tighter exportable supplies following Indonesia’s planned increase in biodiesel blending mandates in 2026, despite higher-than-expected production in Malaysia. World sunflower oil prices rose for the fourth consecutive month in October, largely due to limited supplies from the Black Sea region amid harvest delays and cautious farmer sales. Meanwhile, global rapeseed and soy oil prices increased on account, respectively, of persistent tight supplies in the European Union and higher domestic demand in Brazil and the United States.

Global rapeseed production

IGC expects all-time high in rapeseed area for the 2026/27 marketing year.

The International Grains Council (IGC) forecasts the global rapeseed area at 44.1 million hectares; 0.2 million hectares higher compared to the current 2025/26 crop year. In major exporting countries, the rapeseed area is expected to decline slightly, while other regions – especially Asia – are projected to see moderate expansion.

In the EU-27, the rapeseed area is forecast to remain unchanged at 6.1 million hectares. However, in the southeastern EU, especially in Romania, the strong 2025 harvest may encourage farmers to expand their rapeseed plantings. In contrast, other member states are expected to reduce their areas slightly.

In Russia, the area devoted to rapeseed cultivation is forecast to remain stable at 3.0 million hectares, following significant expansion in the current season. By contrast, according to research by Agrarmarkt Informations-Gesellschaft (mbH), the area planted with rapeseed in Ukraine is expected to decline 100,000 hectares to 1.3 million hectares. Nevertheless, the aggregated area in the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) is expected to reach the second largest level on record, underscoring the growing importance of rapeseed as a crop.

Forecasts for leading exporters Canada and Australia remain particularly uncertain, as sowing will not begin for several months. Driven by expectations of brisk international demand, Canada's rapeseed area is projected to remain close to its previous average at 8.7 million hectares. Australia's rapeseed area is likewise expected to stay unchanged compared to the previous year, at 3.4 million hectares.

Canola in US

“According to the USDA, canola production in the United States is surging, driven by strong demand from the domestic biofuel sector. For the 2024/25 season, planted area exceeded 1 million hectares for the first time, marking a 13% increase from the previous year and setting the stage for a record harvest of over 2.1 million tonnes. Growth has been strongest in North Dakota, Montana, and Washington, where planted areas hit record highs. Fuelled by policies such as the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) and California’s Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS), canola oil has become an increasingly valuable feedstock for renewable diesel and sustainable aviation fuel, reinforcing the crop’s importance to both U.S. agriculture and clean energy.

Europe: early crop growth supported by favourable conditions

See Map on Pdf File.

“In northern Europe (Finland, Sweden and the Baltic countries) and across western to eastern regions (France, Germany, Austria, Poland, Czechia and Slovakia), rapeseed crops are developing well, supported by adequate rainfall and generally mild temperatures. This has resulted in uniformly established stands, currently ranging from the five-leaf stage to the formation of side shoots, depending on sowing dates. In north-western Europe (France, Belgium, Denmark and north-western Germany), crop hardening slightly delayed by the unusually warm first half of November (…)

In Hungary, crops are developing well. While recent rains have helped improve top-soil moisture in the central and eastern regions of the Great Plains, deeper soil layers remain dry, which could impede future crop development unless significant rainfall occurs. In Romania, dry soils in September followed by abundant rains made sowing difficult in the southern regions, leading to high heterogeneity in crop development, from emergence to advanced rosette, and poor uniformity in late-sown fields; soils remain dry along the eastern border. In Bulgaria, sowing is complete and the area may increase this year.”
