Varieties
HGCA Recommended Lists (RL) provide information on yield and quality performance, agronomic features and market options for recommended varieties to assist growers with variety selection. Here you can find the latest Recommended Lists for wheat, oilseed, barley and oats as well as harvest results and trials information.

Running the Recommended Lists

Each year HGCA invests around 13% of its total levy income to assessing varieties for the HGCA Recommended Lists.

HGCA Recommended Lists are run through a collaborative project in partnership with BSPB, nabim and MAGB.

The HGCA Recommended lists are managed by dedicated members of the HGCA Research and Knowledge Transfer team.
