Brassica napus L., winter oilseed rape (OSR), is a major crop worldwide, with a wide range of uses and high profitability. Viruses, such as turnip yellows virus (TuYV), are becoming increasingly important, and in certain years, they can cause significant infestations in OSR. It is difficult to detect the presence of the virus during visual field inspections, as the symptoms it causes can be confused with either those caused by abiotic factors (e.g., low winter temperature, soil compaction, nutrient deficiencies, etc.) or by other viruses. The objective of this study was to determine the susceptibility of four commercial hybrids of oilseed rape to TuYV in Hungary and to determine the effect of the virus on phenotypic and yield parameters. The results showed that infection with the TuYV can be significant in OSR in some growing seasons. It was found that the appearance of visual symptoms (e.g., anthocyanin leaves) does not always confirm the presence of the virus (based on the ELISA (enzyme-linked immuno assay)), and it does not always detect a negative effect of TuYV on all phenotypic and yield parameters of the tested hybrids based on the results in one growing season.
