ABSTRACT
An experiment was conducted to study the effect of irrigation scheduling (IW : CPE ratios) and nitrogen levels on seed yield of oats during rabi seasons of 2009-10 to 2011-12 at the Main Forage Research Station, Anand Agric. University, Anand. The experiment consisted of twelve treatment combinations comprised of four levels of irrigation (Critical growth Stages and 0.6, 0.8 and 1.0 IW: CPE ratio), three levels of nitrogen (50, 75 and 100 kg N ha-1) in a split plot design with four replications. The results revealed that irrigation given at 0.8 IW : CPE ratio significantly increased seed and straw yield of oat on the basis of pooled results. The nitrogen application at 75 kg ha-1 recorded significantly the highest seed yield, while the higher straw yield was recorded at 100 kg N ha-1.
Key words :
Forage oats, Irrigation scheduling, IW : CPE ratio, Nitrogen management, Seed and straw yield.
