To better understand the future variation trends of subjective demands for different traits of rapeseed varieties and the differences between groups of farmers in China and to provide decisionmaking basis for the breeding of rapeseed varieties,descriptive statistical method was used to report the annual trends of farmers’ subjective demand for traits of 9 rapeseed varieties based on the survey data of 17 701 samples collected from 18 provinces with fixed observation points of China agriculture research system (rapeseed) from 2009 to 2020. Group differences of farmer’s subjective demands for different traits of rapeseed varieties were analyzed between different regions,topographic regions,land scale,age and education level of farmer. The results showed that there were significant differences in farmers’ subjective demand for different traits of rapeseed varieties. According to the annual average of whole nation,the decreasing order was yield (86.15%),followed by disease resistance (68.02%),oil extraction rate (62.28%),lodging resistance (61.43%),germination rate (43.47%),insect resistance (41.41%),suitable for mechanization (35.63%),doublelow (35.60%),price of seed (30.98%). Farmers’ subjective demand for yield decreased by 6.68 percentage,oil extraction rate increased by 28.30 percentage,insect resistance decreased by 17.30 percentage,disease resistance decreased by 1.98 percentage,lodging resistance increased by 15.61 percentage,price of seed decreased by 17.60 percentage from 2009 to 2020. Farmers’ subjective demand for germination rate increased by 33.13 percentage,doublelow increased by 9.29 percentage,suitable for mechanization increased by 2.71 percentage from 2015 to 2020. There were significant differences in farmers’ subjective demand for different traits of rapeseed varieties among different groups of farmers. It is recommended that the breeding of rapeseed cultivars with more resistance should be far more strengthened from the perspective of farmers’ needs and on the basis of further breeding rapeseed cultivars with highyield and high oil extraction rate. Rapeseed cultivars with double-low,high germination rate and suitable for mechanization should be the target of breeding and promotion in the future. A batch of rapeseed varieties with high-quality and high-price can be released to increase the income of rapeseed breeders.
