Impact of Integrated Nutrient Management on Yield of Different Varieties of Oat

Oat is an essential Rabi crop commonly used as green fodder. The nutritional requirements of oats are higher than those of other Rabi fodder crops. Higher doses of inorganic fertilizers are required to meet this demand, which is not economical for fodder production. This study evaluates the best economical dose of integrated nutrient management for attaining higher yield and better nutritional quality of oat. The experiment was conducted on the Agronomy Research Farm, University of Agriculture, Faisalabad, Punjab, Pakistan. The seed varieties used in this experiment were Oat-2011 Sargodha and Oat-F-411 (2021) Faisalabad. The experimental treatments were organized in factorial Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) arrangements, with each treatment replicated three times. The results revealed that treatment (T4) 50% RDF + 5 t/ha. Farmyard Manure + seed inoculation azotobacter was found to be the most appropriate than all other treatments.
