“…Almost all types of soil suit oat, including acidic (Forsberg & Reeves, 1995). Oat tolerates wet weather and acidic soils far better than do wheat and barley, is relatively resistant to foliar diseases, and requires less agrochemical and fertiliser input (Givens et al, 2004).…”

“…With oat there is seldom one optimum seeding rate because oat plants adjust their tillering and growth depending upon plant density (Forsberg & Reeves, 1995). Because of the weaker germination capacity of naked oat, compared with the conventional type, a larger amount of seed is recommended.…”

“…In most countries, the price for oat is significantly lower than that for barley and wheat (Forsberg & Reeves, 1995). According to Statistics Finland, run by the Finnish Ministry of Agriculture, the price of oat at the beginning of 2005 in Germany was t103/ tonne, in Sweden t96.69/tonne, and in Finland t86.60/tonne.…”

The greatest barrier to the use of oat as an animal feed is its high hull content. In spite of its excellent fat and amino acid composition in animal feed use, as far as nutritional value is concerned, the total energy yield of oat is weaker than that of other cereals because of the hulls which have an energy yield like that of straw, so the use and cultivation of oat has remained behind that of plants richer in energy. There are two ways to improve the low energy yield from the cultivation of oat: one is to cultivate naked oat (naked oat, also referred to as hulless oat, describes a variety of oat that with a caryopsis threshes free from maternal lemma and palea under normal mechanical harvest) and the other way is to cultivate high-yielding conventional oat and dehull it mechanically after threshing.The analysis in this paper is based on economic comparisons related to cultivation, dehulling, and crop value. The results show that the main differences in cultivation costs between naked and conventional oat lie in the amount of seeds required and the drying costs. The main differences affecting the economic result lie in market prices, yield level, and feed value. The results indicate that naked oat is financially more profitable than conventional oat, when the crop is sold at a specific price at all yield levels, when the crop is used as feed at the highest yield level. At lower yield levels, conventional oat is, in spite of its lower feed value, the more profitable option for feed use. Dehulled oat, however, did not achieve the same economic result as naked oat at any yield level, as the cost of dehulling, including disposing of the hull waste, was considerable.

“…Planting time defines not only the yield and other agronomic aspects of the crop, but also the expression of some quality attributes presence or absence of harmful organisms in the seed; so it should be carefully chosen that allowing to obtain the best yields and quality (Forsberg and Reeves, 1995). It is associated with day length, temperature and solar radiation.…”

El cultivo de avena tiene gran importancia en México, ya que se ha incrementado su superficie sembrada en los últimos 15 años. En años con retraso de temporal o con largos periodos de sequía, se ha promovido la siembra de este cereal en extensas áreas siniestradas; sin embargo, el abasto de semilla es insuficiente y su demanda es tan alta que propicia el comercio de semilla de dudosa calidad. En México aún no se dispone de la tecnología para el manejo agronómico adecuado hacia la producción de la misma. Por lo que el objetivo de esta investigación fue evaluar el efecto de la fecha y densidad de siembra sobre el rendimiento, calidad física y fisiológica de la semilla de cuatro variedades, cultivadas en condiciones de riego en el Bajío guanajuatense, para lo cual se utilizó el diseño experimental de parcelas divididas. Las fechas de siembra fueron determinantes para la expresión del rendimiento y calidad física de semilla; sin embargo, no tuvieron influencia sobre las características fisiológicas, en la fecha más tardía (31 de diciembre) se obtuvo el mayor rendimiento, no obstante las condiciones ambientales de la misma inf luyeron desfavorablemente en el peso volumétrico. En la densidad de siembra de 90 kg de semilla ha-1 se obtuvo un buen rendimiento de semilla, peso volumétrico y peso de mil semillas. La constitución genética (variedades) mostró la mayor respuesta diferencial, entre los factores estudiados, además de haber sido determinante en la expresión de la calidad fisiológica de semilla (porcentaje de germinación, longitud de plúmula y peso seco de plántula). La variedad Obsidiana fue la mejor en rendimiento y calidad de semilla.

“…Unfortunately, oat is often the financial weak link in diversified crop rotations . This is due to a combination of market factors in addition to low yields (kg ha -1 ) and substandard test weight of grain (kg m -3 ), the latter being an important metric in determining oat quality for access to more profitable food-grade milling markets (Forsberg and Reeves, 1995;.…”
