The project is led by ADAS and is guided by the knowledge and expertise of a Steering Committee and a Diverse Stakeholder Engagement Group
Pests and diseases are assessed at key time points in the season from approximately 300 commercial wheat crops and 85 oilseed rape crops each year. The data is anonymised and
we never share data in a way that identifies individual sites or participants. Data is analysed and published via a series of reports throughout the season which are available on the website to download.
The entire database is free to access and is searchable via the
Interactive Platform. The dataset spans approximately 50 years.
Innovation is brought to the survey through initiatives such as molecular diagnostics, up-to-date imaging techniques and mining the historical data to adress topical questions. We are seeking to maximise the usefulness of the survey and its resources through collaboration and alignment with synergistic projects.
