Abstract

The experiment was conducted at Adami Tulu Agricultural Research Center (ATARC), Dugda and Lume districts with the objective to evaluate adaptability, agronomic performance, yield and quality of six oat varieties (Bonsa, Bate, CI-8251, Bona-bas, Jasari and Cl-8237) under rain fed condition for two consecutive years from 2020-2021. In this experiment, oats varieties were planted in 18 experimental plots of each size with 3m*3m were arranged in six treatments with three replications by Factorial arrangement Randomized in Complete Block Design. Combined mean value of plant height, total forage biomass yield and seed yields were showed that there was significance (P<0.001) variation among varieties and sites. The highest mean value of plant height was recorded from Bate (122.34cm) and the lowest was from CI-8251 (90.96cm). The maximum plant height was obtained at ATARC (120.61cm) and the minimum was at Lume site (92.09cm). The highest mean value of total biomass yield was obtained from Bate (13.03 t/ha) and the lowest yield was from Bonabas (8.87 t/ha). The maximum total forage biomass yield was produced at ATARC (13.53 t/ha) followed by Dugda site (11.59 t/ha) and the minimum was at Lume (6.73 t/ha). The maximum seed yield (21.95 quant/ha) was produced by Bonsa and the second and third was from CI-8251 (20.8 quant/ha) and Bate (20.07 quant/ha). The lowest seed yield was recorded from CI-8237 (17.72 quant/ha). The maximum seed yield was produced at Lume (21.88 quant/ha) site. The lowest seed yield value was produced at ATARC site followed by Dugda, this value was due to the occurrence of lodge at both sites after attained 50% of flowering. Late and early maturity varieties at 50% flowering were CI-8237 (80 days) and Bonabas (69 days), respectively. The maximum days to attained 50% of flowering was observed at Dugda followed by ATARC site, whereas the minimum was recorded at Lume site. Ash, ADF and LDF were showed none significance (P>0.05) difference except CP contents. Bate and Bonsa varieties were well performed in total forage biomass yield, seed yield and nutritive quality. Bonabas was better in early maturity to attained 50% of flowering in moisture stress area. Therefore, Bate, Bonsa and Bonabas oats varieties were recommended for the end users of the study area and for similar agro ecology.
