RL app
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.
RL review
Find out about the RL review and how it will help to improve the variety trialling project.
Understanding and using the RL
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.
RL project and protocols
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.
RL strategy
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.
RL trial update
Paul Gosling, who manages the RL at AHDB, provided an RL trial update at the AHDB Agronomy Conference (7 December 2023).
