Technical Abstract: Classic spring oat (Avena sativa L.) was developed cooperatively by the Purdue University Agricultural Research Programs and the USDA-ARS and was released in 1996. Classic originated from the cross 'Ogle'//'INO9201'/P8221RB1-44-6. The cross was made and subsequent selection was done to combine resistance-tolerance to barley yellow dwarf virus (BYDV) from all three parent lines, and resistance of INO9201 and P8221RB1-44-6 to crown rust (caused by Puccinia coronata Corda var. avenae W. P. Fraser & Ledingham). Classic is similar to INO9201 for general plant-type characteristics. Classic, however is 10 cm taller and heads 3.5 d later than INO9201. BYDV symptom severity's (0=no symptoms; 9=severe leaf discoloration and plant stunting) on Classic, INO9201, Ogle, 'Noble', and 'Clintland 64' in controlled tests at Lafayette, IN in 1992 to 1995 averaged 2.8, 4.0, 4.5, 6.5, and 8.7, respectively. Yield of Classic averaged 5,613 kg ha-1, compared with 5,574, 5,255, and 4,677 kg ha-1 for INO9201, Ogle, and 'Noble', respectively, in performance nurseries at Lafayette over 4 year 1992 to 1995. Classic is adapted to Indiana and most of the north-central region of the U.S. Classic was developed using the pedigree method of breeding. Breeder seed of Classic is maintained by the Purdue University Agricultural Research Programs, West Lafayette, IN.
