Trial location(s) Condobolin, NSW
Condobolin oat varietal yield and quality trial locations
Aims

To provide localised data on the yield and quality response of released and near release oats lines.

Key messages
  • The extremely late break to the season highlighted maturity differences very clearly.
  • Yield varied from 2.2 -4.0t/ha.
  • Protein varied from 13.9% (Mitika, Echidna) to 15.7% (Quoll). Highlighting the potential for oats in a feedlot ration. Mitika has low lignin content (hull) and Quoll has medium lignin (hull) content.
  • Screenings varied from 18.0% (Quoll) to 32.1 % (Potoroo). High values were because of the short growing season.
  • The test weight varied from 47.6kg/hl (Potoroo) to 54.9kg/hl (Mortlock). Relatively low seed weights confirmed the short season trend shown by high protein and high screenings values.
