Other claims from this paper (13)
- Intervention effect Nitrogen treatments had little effect on oat milling quality at Ste-Anne-de-Bellevue.
- Intervention effect Higher N decreased hull percentage of oat grain in the Ste-Rosalie experiment.
- Intervention effect Higher N increased plump grain percentage of oat in the Ste-Rosalie experiment.
- Intervention effect Delayed seeding reduced oat yields in all four experiments.
- Intervention effect In the Ste-Anne-de-Bellevue experiments, delayed seeding reduced test weight, 1000-grain weight and plump grain percentage of oat.
- Intervention effect In the Ste-Anne-de-Bellevue experiments, delayed seeding reduced theoretical milling yield of oat.
- Intervention effect In the Ste-Anne-de-Bellevue experiments, delayed seeding increased the percentage of hull, thin grain and bosom grain of oat.
- Mechanism Opposite effects of seeding on oat milling traits in the Ste-Rosalie experiment may result from reduced production of secondary and tertiary seeds in late-seeded treatments.
- Intervention effect Late-seeded treatments had opposite effects on oat traits in the Ste-Rosalie experiment.
- Observation Significant differences in oat milling quality characteristics were observed between cultivars.
- Observation Oat cultivars interacted with management treatments in their milling quality response.
- Intervention effect The higher application rate of N did not improve oat grain milling quality sufficiently to warrant its use.
- Recommendation Correct cultivar choice seems crucial for producing high-quality milling oat grain.
