Remarks: Yield for hulless varieties are expressed on "as harvested" basis. Hull removal reduces weight of hulless oats by 5-10% and of completely hulled oats by 20-25%.

Use higher seeding rate for large seeded varieties. AC Assiniboia and AC Rebel have tan hulls. OT576 insufficient data to describe.
Where test yield categories based on small plot data for hulled oats would be as follows:
Low<90 bu/ac; Medium=90 to 135 bu/ac; High=135 to 180 bu/ac; and Very High>180 bu/ac.
Yield % are based on test means for all varieties in the trial.

Ratings: EX = Excellent, VG = Very Good, G = Good, F = Fair, P = Poor, VP = Very Poor.
