Summary

Yield variability of spring barley and winter wheat varieties is investigated in National Institute of Agricultural Botany trials sown to assess the influence on varieties of fungicide treatment. The extent of the variation in relative variety performance due to years and centres is estimated for untreated and treated yields and for yield response to fungicide. The consequences for the design of future trials systems are considered.
