Various oat seeding rate v quality locations
Aims

To determine if there is any quality variation against different seeding rates for oats.

Key messages

The trial showed that the various grain qualities did not vary greatly in relation to each seeding rate, although these variations small but they can be significant when applied to oat receival standards, with the grain quality differences having the potential to change the grade from Oat1 to Oat2, an average difference of $40/tonne.
