These guidelines aim to help the industry identify the risk factors and the appropriate agronomy which can minimise risk of mycotoxins from field infections.

Verticillium wilt was found in an average of 16% of crops in harvest years 2009–2011. It was most prevalent in eastern England. This publication provides an overview of the disease and management options.

Most buyers of oilseed rape in the UK pay an oil premium of 1.5% for every 1% of oil content above 40%. A similar deduction is made for loads below 40%.

Wheat blossom midge larvae feed on the developing seeds, causing small, shrivelled grains with poor germination. Damage to the outer layer of the grain allows water to enter, resulting in sprouting in the ear and fungal attack.

Weed control in oats is difficult because there is a limited range of herbicides available. In organic oats, there are three key methods of management: control during the ley phase of the rotation, stale seedbeds and mechanical weeding in the crop.

No-till means sowing directly into the residues of the previous crop without any prior topsoil loosening. The objective is to reduce production costs while maintaining or increasing yields with possible added environmental benefits.

Oilseed rape seedlings are weak and susceptible to poor seedbed conditions, weather and early growing conditions. Many growers have settled on establishment methods that suit their farms.

This poster looks into the effects of defects and impurities on wheat and barley in storage. It displays causes, results and examples of physical damage, disease, pests, screenings and weed seeds.

Grain moisture content is critical from harvest, through storage, to final sale of cereals and oilseeds.

Germinative capacity is a key quality feature of malting barley. This publication gives guidance on how to get high quality malting barley by good agronomy and storage.

This guide provides an introduction to carbon footprinting, explaining what information is used to calculate one and what can be done to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

This checklist was produced by AHDB Cereals & Oilseeds, on behalf of the Cereals Liaison Group, to help growers avoid the most common problems associated with cereals sales contracts.
