12 Conclusions varieties fulfil requirements for better agronomics (eg early maturing) and disease resistance (eg septoria tritici and yellow rust) with minimal yield penalties Variety selection for quality cereals is dependent on market requirements Market acceptance for new barley varieties requires time for industry to complete tests Good spring cereals options to consider when drilling late autumn (wheat) or spring (wheat, oats, barley) variety flavours are all worth a try
