Objective Summary

The research will be conducted in two parts a. Identify where trial design and implementation criteria can influence variability and therefore accuracy of results. Determine from R&D practitioners and industry what parameters affect accuracy and if thedevelopment of standard protocols would assist R&D and the accuracy and applicability of results. b. If stage (a) indicates a need then to create a uniform set of protocols for the implementation management sampling and sample management for research& development for the export hay industry. To verify or investigate variability and compare methodologies using field trials. To provide a framework for the future direction of research for the hay industries
