The AHDB Cereals and Oilseeds Recommended Lists are the definitive industry guide to cereal and oilseed varieties, giving levy-payers the information they need to select the correct variety for their businesses. The data on which the Recommended Lists are produced are based on the evaluation of field performance of a range of varieties of crops under cultivation in the UK.
