Abstract:

Field experiment was conducted to evaluate the performance of 10 forage oats varieties at Barani Agriculture Research Station, Fatehjang in district Attock during winter 2004-05. Significant differences among different varieties were observed for all the traits studied. The exotic oats varieties "Scott" and "Cuscade" produced significantly taller plants, more tillers plant-1 higher leaf area and more leaves tiller-1. The highest green fodder and dry matter yields of 68.77, 60.19 and 18.82, 16.47 t ha-1 were obtained in oats varieties "Scott" and "Cuscade", respectively. Hence varieties "Scott" and "Cuscade" proved their superiority over all the other varieties included in the experiment.
