Summary

This 2025 AHDB Recommended Lists open day in Fife served as a knowledge transfer mechanism to communicate independent cereal variety evaluation results directly to Scottish growers. The event likely featured on-farm demonstration plots and peer discussion to translate AHDB variety trial data into practical decision-support for local cereal crop selection. As a dissemination activity rather than primary research, it bridged the gap between controlled variety testing and farm-level adoption.
