Conley, and John M. Gaska Department of Agronomy, University of Wisconsin-Madison  \nIntroduction  \nOat cultivation in Wisconsin has declined considerably in the last eight decades; nevertheless, it continues to be an important crop in the north central states where 65% of the oats harvested for grain in the United States each year are produced. Oats planted in Wisconsin totaled 255,000 acres in 2013 and grain production accounted for approximately 11% of the total oat production in the U.S. Planted acres in the 1930s to the 1960s exceeded 1.98 million in Wisconsin alone and 3.95 million nationwide (NASS, 2013). Primary uses for oat in Wisconsin are for establishing alfalfa underseedings, livestock forage and grain, and straw. The uses of oat also extends from livestock feed to use in human nutrition. Oats are highly nutritious with the highest protein quantity and quality of the cereal grains, the oil from oats has a highly desirable fatty acid composition, and the fiber (β-glucan) is beneficial in lowering cholesterol levels (Lockhart and Hurt, 1986). Along with high total grain yield, the nutritional quality of the grain is equally desirable for growers planning to market the crop for human consumption. High β-glucan content is desirable in the human diet (Peterson et al., 1995) . It has been identified as a component that can lower serum cholesterol (Davidson et al., 1991; Klopfenstein and Hoseney, 1987) . Oat varieties with a more concentrated soluble fiber may provide a sufficient amount of the β-glucan component. Therefore, β-glucan content has been proposed as a target for plant breeding programs (Lim et al., 1992; Peterson et al., 1995). Recent oat breeding efforts, such as those at UW-Madison, have focused on increasing yield and nutritional quality as well. The objectives of our studies were to examine the effect of various agronomic management practices on oat yield and quality. These practices included:  \n• Varieties  \n• Seeding rates  \n• Chemical seed treatments  \n• Foliar fungicides  \nTwo separate trials were established in 2011 through 2013. The Oat Management (OM) trial evaluated two cultivars of oat across three management variables. The Oat Fungicide (OF) trial evaluated multiple cultivars with and without foliar fungicides. Both trials were planted at the Arlington Agricultural Research Station, Arlington, WI.  \nOat Management (OM)  \nFour different factors were studied for their effect on yield and quality:  \n• Two oat varieties: Badger and Esker  \n• Two seeding rates: 1.2 and 1.5 million seeds/a  \n• Three seed treatments: No seed treatment, Rancona Pinnacle, and Rancona Crest  \n• One foliar fungicide: NTC and 9 fl oz/a of Headline at the Feekes 9 growth stage  \nDuring the three years of the oat management study, the Badger variety resulted in approximately 9 bu/a greater yield than the Esker variety. The seeding rate did not have a significant effect on yield while the seed treatment increased total yield compared to untreated seed. Rancona Crest seed treatment, which contains an insecticide in addition to the dual fungicide components, resulted in a 4 bu/a increase above the Rancona Pinnacle, but was not statistically significant (Figure 1) .  \nAdditionally, foliar fungicide application had no effect on oat yields compared to untreated plots (Figure 2) . Nevertheless, growers should consider a foliar fungicide application if disease is expected to be present (Mourtzinis et al., 2014). Only light incidence offoliar disease was observed in 2011 and none in 2012 or 2013. The high seeding rate, as well as the two seed treatments, had no measurable impact on oat height and lodging during the three years of the experiment.  \n| Figure 1.
