Oat Otrada

Spring oats of the OTRADA variety constitute a mid-ripening fodder crop intended for cultivation in the regions of the Urals, Western Siberia, and the Far East, with a special recommendation for the Tyumen region. The plants are of medium height, ranging from 77.4 to 112.5 cm, featuring a semi-erect bush and strong hairiness on the upper stem node. Leaf sheaths and leaf edges are hairless. The panicle is semi-unilateral with semi-raised branch positioning, drooping spikelets, and a short glume with a waxy coating of weak or medium intensity. The grain varies from medium to large size, with a 1000-grain mass ranging from 32 to 41 grams. The variety is characterized by medium yield of approximately 30.5 centners per hectare in the permitted region; in the Tyumen region, yield can reach 44.3 c/ha, which is 3.1 c/ha above the Megion standard. The maximum registered yield was 73.1 c/ha in the Tomsk region. The vegetation period ranges from 66 to 85 days, making the variety mid-ripening: it ripens 1-2 days earlier than the Korifei variety and 3-5 days later than the Megion variety. The variety possesses medium drought resistance and moderate resistance to diseases such as powdery scab and crown rust. OTRADA differs with good technological characteristics: grain natural density varies from 460 to 570 g/l, protein content ranges from 8.9-13.5%. Stability to lodging is slightly lower compared to Megion, Korifei, and Kreol varieties, losing 0.5-1 point to them, however, the variety maintains stability and high productivity in the recommended regions. Thanks to its qualities and adaptability, spring oats OTRADA is a reliable choice for fodder production in the conditions of the Urals and Western Siberia.
