Abstract

The structure of sowing spring oats occupies a growing share. Due to the high
nutritional value oat is used in food for people and livestock. The aim of the research
was to determine the effect of sowing date on yield of spring oats over two years.
Global climate changes indicate the need for selection of sowing date in order to
achieve high grain yield of oats. The experiment was set up by a random distribution
(RCBD) at the Čokadinci (N 45 ° 29 'E 18 ° 25') during two growing seasons (2010 and
2011) with two varieties of oats (Flamingsstern and Baranja) and three sowing dates
(early, middle and late). Over the years effects of sowing dates, cultivars and their
interaction on yields have been examined. Significant differences in yields among the
tested varieties, planting dates, and their interactions have been determined. Variety
Flamingsstern achieved a significantly higher yield at all planting dates and years in
relation to the variety of Baranja. In 2010 average yield of 3.76 t/ha was significantly
lower compared to the 2011 (4.32 t/ha). These results indicate the possibility of
increasing yields by appropriate choice of varieties and earlier planting dates. The
highest yield of oats grain was achieved in early planting dates in both years.
