The AHDB Recommended Lists for cereals and oilseeds (RL) publications and resources provide information on yield and quality performance, agronomic features and market options to assist with variety selection.

What are the types of list? What does ‘scope of recommendation’ mean? How are yields and disease ratings calculated? Our 'using the RL' page answers these questions (and more) to help you get the most out of the lists.

Produced each year, the RL publications are based on the analysis of hundreds of UK trials conducted across several years. Explore our 'project and protocols' page for information on the trials and the decision-making process, including the reasons for adding and removing varieties from RL.

Access the latest information from AHDB Recommended List trials, including sowing lists and Harvest Result data. Or sign up to Harvest Results – our e-newsletter sent out regularly during harvest.

Adding value to the online tables and booklet, our RL app provides a powerful and pint-sized way to deliver variety data to your fingertips.

Use the variety selection tool to navigate RL trial data, make comparisons and identify the most promising varieties for your unique situation.

We want the RL to feature varieties that help all businesses – from farmers to end users – maintain and improve the productivity and competitiveness of the UK grain supply chain. However, RL users are diverse, the production environment is changing, and the budget is limited. Find out how our five-year strategy aims to maintain the delivery of relevant, independent variety data.

Learn how AHDB supports pre-breeding research to help deliver novel and improved traits to the varieties of the future.

Quite a bit of disease bubbling up in our #RLtrials, including brown rust (especially in untreated plots). In this video, Mark Bollebakker inspects some plots in Norfolk and explains how 2022 is generating quality disease data. pic.twitter.com/kNP4UVeGAA

The RL project is managed by a consortium of AHDB Cereals & Oilseeds, BSPB, MAGB and UKFM. Funding for the trials and tests is provided by AHDB Cereals & Oilseeds but the production of the RL would be impossible without the contribution and support of the industry.
