• Oats can achieve similar or higher biomass than wheat (Scepter ) and barley (Compass ).
• Growers have access to oat varieties with similar development speeds to Compass barley and Scepter wheat and are likely to flower within a similar frost risk window.
• Early May sowing of oats in 2019 achieved higher total biomass and hay yield than oats sown late May/early June in three different environments.

The National Hay Agronomy trial is a new four year project funded by AgriFutures (formerly known as RIRDC). Results from trials at Lameroo and Tarlee are also part of a three year project funded by the South Australian Grains Industry Trust (SAGIT) on improving the productivity of oats. The authors would like to thank both AgriFutures and SAGIT for their continued support. |
