Abstract

Synopsis In date‐of‐seeding experiments with 3 oat varieties Andrew and Sauk produced a higher relative grain yield than Bonham when sown late. Andrew produced a greater actual and relative number of seeds per head as the seeding date became later, whereas Sauk maintained a high level of relative number of heads per plant. Relative weights per 100 seeds of all 3 varieties were reduced by late planting to about the same extent.
