| الوصف: | Oat is the most important cereal fodder crop grown in winter in North Western, Central India and is now extending to the eastern region where oat breeding only recently begun in the nineteen-eighties. India has a wide range of agro-ecological zones, described in the paper, and research centres to develop varieties to suit different zones as well as different systems of fodder production. India has a well-managed system for evaluation of breeding lines for release and notification for cultivation by farmers. Entries after station trials are entered in All India coordinated trials. Entries, which are better than the control by a sufficient margin, are put before a committee for identification. A committee at national level further considers these recommendations. These steps are essential for the release and notification of a variety for use by farmers. Breeding methodology is discussed and the main cultivars which have been developed and released are described. Oat (Avena sativa L.) ranks sixth in world cereal production following wheat, maize, rice, barley and sorghum. It is an important winter forage in many parts of the world and is grown as multipurpose crop for grain, pasture, forage or as a rotation crop. Oats are consumed as human food and fodder for cattle. They have a high fat, protein and mineral content. Oat is the most important winter cereal fodder crop grown in winter in North Western, Central India and is now extending to the eastern region. It has excellent growth habit, quick recovery after cutting and good quality herbage. It is a palatable, succulent and nutritious crop. The protein quality of oat is excellent. Oat requires a long and cool season for its growth; therefore, it is successfully grown in the plains and hilly areas of the |
