As well as assessing weeds, pests and diseases, crop managers must assess the crop itself. Crop progress, structure and final performance can then be compared with benchmarks or new crop s growth best relates to the natural resources that it captures.

stages (GS21, GS31, GS39, GS59, GS71 and GS87). Detailed information on the growth stages is published near the back of this guide. Development can only be altered by variety choice and sowing date. Subsequent management decisions aim to influence growth during development (eg by controlling disease or applying fertiliser).
