In 2019, we trialed 29 varieties of oats at two locations in Maine. All except one were sourced as food grade types, and 7 were free-threshing hulless or ‘naked’ types.  \nTable 1.

The locations were managed using organic practices in Old Town and conventional practices in Mapleton. Agronomic practices for both locations are described in Table 2.  \nTable 2.

For each column in Table 4, the greatest value is indicated with underlining and bold type. Varieties that are not significantly different from the greatest value are also in bold type. Each column also has at the bottom the site average, least significant difference (LSD), and coefficient of variation (CV) . The LSD is the minimum difference needed between two varieties to consider them statistically different at a 95% confidence level. The CV measures the variability of the data, which influences how easy it is to detect difference among the varieties.  \nTable 3.
