TAG Information
	The independent information produced by TAG is communicated in very easy-to-read formats, with clear action and advice points for rapid uptake of the information. Whether you prefer publications or electronic access to information, TAG can provide you with both. From the 24 hour variety results service to the regular mailings of agronomic information and the national Results booklets, TAG Members receive the most comprehensive agronomy service in the UK. Think about where your advice is coming from, and is it independent? TAG has nothing to sell but information and advice, based on a considerable database of field research across many parts of the country. A TAG subscription can be recovered many times over by one single recommendation for a lower chemical dose or the omission of an unnecessary input. The TAG information provided to Members covers all aspects of the agronomy of combinable crops (A sugar beet service is also available). Electronic access to most of our information is now also part of the service, and our website is developing into a valuable information source.		see also The TAG Members' Technical Information page: Members Tech Info TAG Consulting Services TAG Mechanisation Consultancy Latest news from TAG: TAG News Links to other web sites of interest: Links Thinking of joining TAG?

	Malting Barley Variety trials are grown at malting N levels of production to ensure that varieties are evaluated under the circumstances in which they will be grown in the field.
	The value of agronomic inputs All agronomic inputs such as: Fungicides Herbicides Insecticides Plant Growth Regulators Novel Products are evaluated by TAG in individual trials and as part of management packages. These trials are the source of much of the INDEPENDENT information produced by TAG.
	Fertiliser Usage Soil N reserves, canopy management, quality N treatments - all these are important aspects of managing crops and TAG has a view based upon its INDEPENDENT trials.
	Establishment Evaluation What's the most effective way to establish a crop? Back in 1992 when the first real hints of lower grain prices were coming from the CAP Review discussions in Brussels, it was decided that a vital and costly area of agronomy, establishing a crop, should be investigated by The Arable Group. After years of extensive trials, TAG has the answers.
