Organic Oats Variety Evaluation
Crop Type(s):
Oats
Centre(s):
PCDF
Year(s):
2018
Collaborators(s):
Jennifer Mitchell-Fetch, AAFC Brandon
Objective(s):
To evaluate oat varieties for organic production.
Background:
Research suggests that selection of cereal crops specific to organic agriculture should be conducted on organically managed land [1,2]. Conventional management systems may mask or confound certain plant characteristics, resulting in selection of sub-optimal cultivars for organic production systems. Organic management conditions were used for the trial at PCDF, although the site is not certified organic.
