Background
A Danish field trial system developed since 1992
Meetings and contacts between Nordic countries since 2002
A common Nordic system developed 2005-2006 by Danish Agricultural Advisory Service
Nordic Field Trial System introduced in 2006

Conclusions / future perspectives
Nordic Field Trial System is an effective field trial management system that enables fast publication of the results
The fast publication has proven to be very valuable to breeders and farmers
The use of the system requires standardized experimental methodology - and in return it ensures standardized and comparable data

Conclusions / future perspectives
The system allows easy sharing of results across national and institutional borders
The system may be adopted for use in more countries, and potentially for use in international variety testing etc.
International cooperation enables a better implementation of new technologies, e.g. GPS, RFID
