Farm Scale Evaluations of Herbicide Tolerant Genetically Modified Crops Map Service

This view service details the locations of arable fields from which a range of ecological measurements were collected as part of the Farm Scale Evaluations (FSEs). The FSEs was a four-year programme of research by independent researchers aimed at studying the effect that the management practices associated with Genetically Modified Herbicide Tolerant (GMHT) crops might have on farmland wildlife, when compared with weed control used with non-GM crops. Data were collected for four crops - Beet, Maize, Spring-sown Oilseed Rape and Winter-sown oilseed Rape. Data were collected by a consortium of the Institute of Terrestrial Ecology, ITE (now the Centre for Ecology & Hydrology, CEH), the Institute of Arable Crop Research (now Rothamstead Research, IACR) and the Scottish Crop Research Institute, SCRI (now the James Hutton Institute, JHI).
