Oat Seed
Research
Findings
Reported
High quality, certified oat
seed of the right variety for a
specific farm can mean 20 or
more bushels per acre than
possible with homegrown seed,
according to Dr Guy W. McKee,
professor of agronomy at Penn
sylvania State University.
Twenty-four extra bushels
was the yield difference be
tween statewide trials of certi
fied oats and all oats grown in
Pennsylvania during a 15-year
period, Dr. McKee says.
The average yield of all varie
ties in the demonstration trials
was 65 5 bushels per acre over
the 15 years In contrast, the
average statewide yield of all
oats was only 415 bushels per
acre There were several years
of below normal rainfall in the
15-year period.
As secretary of the Experi
ment Station Seed Committee
in the College of Agriculture,
Dr. McKee works closely with
seed improvement programs.
He said high seed quality is
indicated by germination abili
ty and freedom from weed
seeds Certified seed, or seed
of equal quality bearing the
brand tags of reliable seedsmen,
is the best assurance of quality.
The extra cost is repaid many
times over in increased 5 yield,
he said.
Penn State recommends six
varieties of spring oats for
Pennsylvania farms They are
Garry, Pennfield, Orbit, Rus
sell, Clintford, and Jaycee.
For farmers wanting an early
maturing variety with stiff
straw, Clintford replaces Clin
ton 59 and the several Clintland
selections.
Russell oats, while high yield
ing, tends to have more stalk
breakage than the other recom
mended varieties.
In the 15-year period of an
alysis, the average yields per
acre were: Russell, 75 8; Penn
field, 73 7; Orbit, 731; Garry,
69.2; and Chnton-Clintland
types, 614.
Pennfield, Orbit, and Russell,
released in recent years, were
included only during the latter
years of the test
Jaycee, newly recommended,
was not in the trials but pro
duces high yields.
Elmer C Pifer, former Ex
tension agronomist now retired,
conducted the 15-year trials.
