Interpretive Summary:

Technical Abstract: Cooperative Regional Performance Nursery data are presented and summarized for entries in the 2007 Uniform Midseason Oat Performance Nursery. The entries included 31 experimental lines from 8 public oat breeding programs plus 5 long-term check cultivars. The nursery was grown at 17 locations in 10 States and 2 Canadian Provinces. Evaluation of performance of elite lines across the wide range of environments aids the cooperators to identify potential cultivar releases and germplasm for use in new crosses. The nursery mean yield of 110.5 bu/A was lower than the 2006 mean yield of 116.6 bu/A. Multiple location data are presented for seed quality traits including test weight, groat percentage, and protein, beta-glucan, and oil contents; for several disease reactions including rusts, smut, and barley yellow dwarf virus; and for various agronomic traits including yield, maturity date, and lodging resistance. The Nursery report will be posted on the Graingenes web site. The web site address is http://wheat.pw.usda.gov/GG2/Avena/UE-MOPN.html.
