    #Oilseed rape (#OSR, Canola oil) is an important oil crop, but cultivation is #pesticide
    intensive.

    We inoculated plants with beneficial fungus Beauveria bassiana to see if it can protect them from pests.

    Short answer: We had c. 30% success with endophytic colonisation and the colonised plants showed interesting metabolite developments but they still got eaten by the pests.
