Winter Oat Recommended Varieties.

Uniquely, Ireland drills spring oat varieties in the Autumn, as this has been proven to give the highest yields and superior grain quality (kernel yield) than true winter oat types.

However, frost risk must be managed (e.g. 2008, 2010, 2021) so follow winter hardiness scores in DAFM Winter Oat Rec List, reduce frost risk by drilling after mid October and avoid applying plant protection products when plants are stressed.

HUSKY has the highest winter hardiness score on DAFM list 2024 (5) and is Irelands highest winter oat on DAFM RL 2024. Husky out yielded the controls in 31 out of 34 in the DAFM trials making it the most reliable for the grower, agronomist and merchant.
