Plotting the future: a cereal walk

We would like to invite you to visit our field plots demonstrating the wide range of research projects as part of the International Barley Hub (IBH) programme.

Sited at The James Hutton Institutes Balruddery Farm, we have over 5000 plots showcasing how we have been using the variation in barley to tackle the challenges of reduced inputs and unpredictable climate, while maintaining stable yields.

Many of the trials are part of student projects which are sponsored by industry and funded through UK government Collaborative Training Partnership (CTP). These cover a wide range of topics from agronomic and management practices to remote sensing, malting quality and breeding.

The tours will begin at 10am and last roughly 1 hour. After the set tours, attendees will have the opportunity to explore additional research plots, learn more about the ongoing work taking place on site, and speak directly with our staff and students about their projects, experiences, and areas of expertise.
