| Description |
Oat (Avena sativa L.), a constitute of family Gramineae ranks sixth in world cereal production. The crop is widely cultivated for use as food, feed and fodder. Being a highly nutritious cereal, especially rich in fat, protein, vit.B1, phosphorous and iron, it is used for human consumption as well as for poultry, dairy cattle and other animals. However, information regarding the regrowth and biochemical constituents in these species is not available. Therefore, present study was done to find out the nutritive value of forage oat during single cut or multicut management, grains of oat and the biochemical parameters responsible for regrowth of oat genotypes. For this, fourteen oat genotypes were grown in field of forage research section of the Department of Genetics and Plant Breeding following RBD. Plant samples were collected at 75 DAS and 50% flowering for multicut and at 50% flowering for single cut and estimation of various biochemical parameters was done. Considerable increase in fresh weight of the oat genotypes was observed at second cut. Two genotypes viz., HFO865 and HFO873 showed great increase in fresh weight. Macronutrient and fructans concentration decreased progressively by 25-70 per cent with advancement in plant age and is maximum in HJ-8 and minimum in OS-6.The cell wall constituents (NDF, ADF and Cellulose) exhibited upward trend with the plant maturity. The content was found highest in HJ-8 in all the cut management systems. Roots and stubbles of multicut genotype(HJ8) had high content of fructan, macronutrients, micronutrient and carbon content than the single cut genotype (OS6). The study indicates that fructan, micronutrients, macronutrients and carbon content playing an important role in regeneration of multicut genotype (HJ8). |
