Arable crop yield data for the Hillesden Experimental Platform, UK, collected between 2006 and 2011

This dataset contains yield data for wheat, oilseed rape and field beans grown in fields under different agri-environment practices. The fields were located at the Hillesden Estate in Buckinghamshire, UK, where a randomised block experiment had been implemented to examine the effects of converting differing proportions of arable land to wildlife habitat. The fields were planted with wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) followed by break crops of either oilseed rape (Brassica napus L.) or field beans (Vicia faba L.). Three treatments were applied at random: a control ("business as usual"), Entry Level Stewardship (ELS) treatment and ELS Extra treatment. The ELS treatment involved removing 1% of land to create wildlife habitats. The ELS Extra had a greater proportion of land removed (6%) and additional wildlife habitats included. The total yield of each crop was measured at the time of harvesting using a yield meter attached to the combine harvester. From these values, yield per hectare and the ratio of crop yield to regional average yield were calculated.

Report

Dataset Reference Date ()
2010-12-08
Statement
All crops were managed consistently across the farm regardless of experimental treatment with conventional inputs of fertilisers and pesticides which aimed to maximise yield. Data were collected by experienced personnel using standardised protocols. Data were checked for unusual values following input into electronic format.
