e HGCA Recommended List can be used to provide better information to growers and the trade on varietal differences.
The recent agreement to site weather stations at RL sites will also help understand environmental factors associated with this issue.
HGCA has surveyed spring barley Recommended List trials for DON mycotoxin. All levels detected were lower than 400 PPB DON. These levels were lower than were seen in winter wheat RL trials, where some sites had levels higher than 500 PPB.
