The productivity of winter oilseed rape cultivars is limited by various pests and diseases. The aim of this study was to determine the differences in the susceptibility of Lithuanian-grown winter rape cultivars to main fungal diseases, their yield performance, and their response to the fungicide application. A 2-factorial field experiment was carried out at the Institute of Agriculture of the Lithuanian Research Centre for Agriculture and Forestry over 3 growing seasons (2007/08, 2008/09, and 2009/10).
