    Oats

    Uploaded by

    Ananda Preethi
    Oats originated in Asia Minor and are now widely grown globally, especially in Russia, the US, Canada, and parts of Europe and Asia. Oats are used for cattle feed, human consumption as oatmeal and cookies, and produce good quality grain. They grow best in cool, moist climates and various varieties exist including common oats, red oats, and types with different chromosome numbers. Oats require similar cultivation to wheat, with seeding rates of 100kg/ha from October to November depending on whether grown for fodder or grain. Proper fertilization, weed control, irrigation and harvesting management can result in yields of 50-60 tons of fodder plus 200-400kg of grain per hect

    Best adapted to cotton belt
    Cool weather is important during grain filling for high and quality yield
    Soil- wide range of soil good water holding capacity
    High N content is not a desirable condition may lead to lodging
    Oats cultivation techniques
    Land preparation- as that of wheat
    Seeds & sowing
    Fanning the light weight seeds, even if germinate week stem and poor yield
    25-30% seeds are normally rejected
    Seed rate 100 kg /ha
    Varieties Kent, Algerian, Bunker10, Coachmen, HFO 114, UPO 50
    Time of sowing- Mid Oct to Mid Nov
    Oct middle for fodder production

    60kg N basal
    10kg at I irrigation
    10kg at after I cutting if sown for fodder cum grain

    Water management
    Higher water than wheat
    4-5 irrigations, generally immediately after each cutting
    Critical stage is tillering for oat
    Weed management
    One hand weeding is good
    Harvesting
    120-150 days to mature
    Common practice to have 2 or 3 cuttings for fodder and then leave to grain
    2 cuttings and grain can be a viable technology for both
    Yield 50-60t fodder + 200-400 kg grain
    Maximum grain yield of 3 -3.5t /ha is possible
