The AHDB Recommended Lists for cereals and oilseeds 2016–2021 (RL) project provides independent information on yield and quality performance, agronomic features and market options to assist with variety selection. Produced each year, the RL publications are based on the analysis of hundreds of UK trials conducted across several years. Explore our 'protocols' page for information on the trials and the decision-making process, including the reasons for adding and removing varieties from RL.

The AHDB Recommended Lists are managed by a project consortium of AHDB, BSPB, MAGB and UKFM.
