Spring oats of the Eclipse variety are a mid-season, dwarf grain-forage variety intended for cultivation in central and Volga-Vyatsk regions. It is characterized by a medium yield of about 38.5 centners per hectare and high-quality grain with protein content ranging from 8.3% to 12.3% and grain bulk density within 440-550 g/l. This variety is suitable for use as feed grain due to its nutritional characteristics.
The Eclipse variety demonstrates moderate resistance to diseases such as loose smut and crown rust, although in terms of resistance it lags behind some other oat varieties. Despite this, it maintains stable yields and can be recommended for cultivation in areas with moderate disease risk. It is important to consider the variety's susceptibility to diseases when planning agronomic measures.
To protect oat crops and other crops from weeds, it is recommended to use the herbicide ECLIPSE, which is a soil product based on prometryne in a concentration of 500 g/l. This suspension concentrate effectively suppresses the germination of annual dicotyledonous weeds and some grass weeds by blocking photosynthesis and respiration processes. The herbicide is applied pre-planting, during planting, or post-planting but before emergence, and is characterized by its stability to rain washout and lack of movement in the soil profile. It is well compatible with other preparations, which allows increasing the effectiveness of crop protection.
