| Abstract: |
A study was conducted to find out the appropriate time of planting on fodder production of different cultivars of oat under rainfed conditions. A total of five cultivars namely Awapuni, Swan, Amouri, Carville and Taico were tested at an altitude of 1520 masl at three different dates of sowing (25th Nov, 5th and 15th Dec) at Pakhribas Agricultural Centre,Dhankuta, Nepal. First cutting was taken after 60 days of planting and subsequent cuttings were taken at 30 days intervals with a total of four cuttings.A significant difference in fodder yield was obtained among the genotypes tested (p<0.01). Highest green fodder yield was obtained from Amouri (17.0 t/ha) and lowest from Awapuni (11.34 t/ha). However, there was no significant effect on fodder yield due to time of sowing. Similarly highest green fodder yield was obtained from second cutting in Amouri (7.19 t/ha) followed by Swan (7.06 t/ha) and decreased thereafter. However, fodder yield from other cultivars decreased after first cutting. From this study, Amouri and Swan have been found to be the most potential oat cultivar for higher fodder production under rainfed conditions.
