Summary

The results are included on this CD-ROM for herbicide trials involving wheat, barley, oats, triticale, rape, lupin and field pea. Field trials were sprayed with the recommended application rate (1xR) and twice the rate (2xR). The high rate establishes the safety margin of the herbicide and confirms the differences in tolerances between the cultivars used. New varieties and advanced lines from various breeding programmes were tested at the x2 rate of only a subset of herbicides. Grain yield of sprayed versus unsprayed plots is used as a measure of crop tolerance of the herbicide. The results of not just 2005 trials are included but also those from 2002, 2003 and 2004 are also included on the CD-ROM together with photographs from the trials.
