CELAPAR 61

FODDER PLANTS / BRISTLE OAT

Avena strigosa Schreb.

Late diploid oat non-breeding variety suitable for fodder, green manure, biogas production

Vigorous, rapid initial growth

Resistant and healthy

Perfectly settles in

Covers the soil surface well

Dense root system

Seed yield potential - 1200 kg/ha

Moderately resistant to crown rust

Moderately resistant to stem rust

*According to research conducted in Brazil, published by Scheffer-Basso in 2002.

Note: It is not recommended to sow cereals after oats, because oats can suppress the growth of cereals due to allelopathic action, nitrogen accumulation (binding) from the soil and decomposition products (phytotoxic acids). There should be no problems when sowing beans under them.

Under different growing conditions than those found in these studies, cultivar parameters may differ from those given here.

SOWING RATE

Recommended seeding rate for nematode control: 80-120 kg/ha

Recommended seeding rate for erosion control/covering: 25-50 kg/ha

Recommended seeding rate when sowing green mass (forage, green fertilizer): 50-125 kg/ha
