Project objectives:  \nObjectives:  \n1) to validate under local conditions, recent research results showing that oat requires moderate amounts of N and that test weight declines as N rate is increased.  \n2) to expose growers to new oat cultivars that may be better than cultivars currently grown in the area of the trial.  \n3) to determine if the test weight of current oat cultivars vary in the stability of their test weight as the nitrogen rate is increased.  \n8. Project Rationale:  \nOat growers are looking for ways to increase their yield and maintain the quality of the oats they grow. Many are using high N rates with varying degrees of success. Research indicates that some cultivars have a more stable test weight than other cultivars as the nitrogen fertilizer fate is increased. In addition new cultivars are available that growers have not had a chance to see evaluated in their own area. This demonstration will help producers choose the appropriate nitrogen rate and cultivar when growing oats.  \nMethodology and Results  \n9. Methodology:  \nExperimental Design: 2 factors, N rate and cultivar in a RCBD design.  \nPlot Size: 35 x 13 feet  \nReps: 3  \nTreatment Factors  \n1) Cultivars  \nFour cultivars (cultivars picked for each location based on two popular and two new cultivars with potential)  \nFour cultivars (cultivars picked for each location based on two popular and two new cultivars with potential)  \nIndian Head Melfort Redvers Yorkton  \nStride Stride Stride Stride  \nCDC Ruffian CDC Minstrel Justice CDC Dancer  \nCS Camden AC Morgan Souris Summit  \nCDC Big Brown CDC Seabiscuit CDC Morrison Triactor  \n2) Nitrogen Rate (kg N ha-1)  \nI) 40  \nII) 60  \nIII) 80  \nIV) 120  \nData Collection  \n1.

Results  \nThe experiment was successfully carried out at all four locations Indian Head, Yorkton, Redvers and Melfort in 2014, 2015 and 2016. The only exception was at Redvers in 2014 when seeding could not be completed due to excessive soil moisture and rain. In 2014 there was no interaction among the cultivars for their response to nitrogen fertilizer at all three locations; which means that cultivars all responded in a similar manor to the application of nitrogen fertilizer. In 2015 and 2016 there were significant interactions between the cultivars and their response to N fertilizer. Plant density differed among the cultivars tested at 9 out of 11 site-years. As the nitrogen rate increased, plant density decreased at only Yorkton in 2015 and 2016 (Tables 4 and 8 ) . In fact at Yorkton in 2015, the cultivars differed in the effect N rate had on their plant density (Table A4, Appendix 1) . The plant density of all the cultivars tended to decrease as the N fertilizer rate increased but they varied in the levels that were statistically different.  \nIn 2014, as the amount of applied N increased lodging increased, especially at Indian Head (Tables 1-3) . At Yorkton and Melfort, the lodging increased when the N rate increased from 80 to 120; however, at Indian Head there was an increase in lodging each time the N rate increased. In 2015 lodging increased as the N rate increase at Melfort and Redvers (Tables 5 and 7) .
