AHDB at the Cereals Event 2024

Tue, 16 Apr 2024 14:25:16 GMT

Meet the AHDB team on stand (526) at Cereals 2024 to discuss how we use your levy to deliver:

Trusted variety and product testing
Independent, practical research and market intelligence
Work across the supply chain
Farmer-to-farmer learning (through a network of Strategic Farms, Monitor Farms and Arable Business Groups)

Stop at our stand to chat to staff, take part in some technical debates and pick up free resources. Try to visit us early, resources are available on a first-come, first-served basis.

Our stand will include a focus on four technical topics.

Topic 1: Recommended Lists (RL)

First released 80 years ago (8 August 1944), the Recommended Lists (RL) is long-lived, trusted and one of AHDB’s most consistently recognised and valued products. At Cereals 2024, join us to celebrate the RL's rich history and find out how it will continue to evolve to meet the needs of farmers.

Visit the AHDB stand to:

Pick up the latest RL booklet
Find out about the RL app and other digital resources
Learn about the latest results from the RL review
Get BASIS and NRoSO points (as part of the Cereals 2024 knowledge trail)
Take part in the sustainable varieties debate and the 80 years celebrations (on day one)*

Topic 2: The Nutrient Management Guide (RB209)

RB209 can help you make the most of organic materials and balance the benefits of fertiliser use against the costs – both economic and environmental. At Cereals 2024, we want to hear what you think RB209 does well and what could be improved (as part of a strategic review of nutrient management guidance).

Visit the AHDB stand to:

Get the latest RB209 guidance
Talk to the team about nutrient management
Discuss the RB209 review

Topic 3: Planning soil management

The soil health scorecard provides a way to monitor soil health based on key chemical, biological and physical indicators. At Cereals 2024, a new ‘Planning soil management’ pack will be available to pick up, which will help you get started with the scorecard approach on your farm.

Topic 4: Environmental data and value

Many farmers are exploring markets and payments for carbon sequestration, biodiversity net gain (BNG) and regenerative actions. At Cereals 2024, talk with the team to discover how we will help you measure and get the maximum value out of your farm’s environmental data.

UKCPVS Stakeholder Event 2024

Thu, 07 Dec 2023 12:02:13 GMT

The UK Cereal Pathogen Virulence Survey (UKCPVS) has monitored cereal rusts and mildews in the UK for over 50 years, detecting and warning industry and growers of new races of disease emerging on resistant varieties. Targeted at breeders, crop scientists and technical agronomists, the stakeholder event reports on the latest UKCPVS results and features additional pathology papers.

We’ve moved the event to January to help promote project results before disease pressure builds in cereal crops.

Managed by NIAB and funded by AHDB and the Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA), UKCPVS receives infected cereal leaf samples from agronomists, trials officers and researchers.

From these samples, pathogen isolates are selected and tested to check their virulence against wheat and barley varieties.

The testing can detect new races of cereal pathogens capable of causing disease in previously resistant cereal varieties.

Programme

10:00am Chair’s welcome and introduction – John Lucas (Rothamsted Research)
10:10am UKCPVS reports from the 2023 season – Charlotte Nellist, Amelia Hubbard (NIAB/UKCPVS)
