    Brief

    This opportunity involves conducting field testing trials for cereal and oilseed varieties to generate performance data for AHDB's Recommended Lists. These independent trials evaluate new varieties across key characteristics including yield, disease resistance, and quality traits, helping farmers and industry stakeholders make informed decisions about which varieties best suit their specific growing conditions and market requirements. The testing data directly supports variety recommendations that maximize productivity and ensure consistent grain supply to the market. Successful delivery requires running multiple trial sites and seasons to generate robust, reliable data that informs the official Recommended and Described variety lists used across the UK cereal and oilseed industry.
