Variety Description

Varieties used for comparison: 'Aylmer' and 'Goslin'

Summary: 'HY 174-OA' has absent to very sparse pubescence on the margins of the leaves while it is sparse for 'Goslin'. The frequency of plants with recurved flag leaves in 'HY 174-OA' is low while it is medium for 'Goslin'. 'HY 174-OA' has a shorter flag leaf than 'Aylmer' and 'Goslin'. The plant height of 'HY 174-OA' is taller than the reference varieties. 'HY 174-OA' has poor lodging resistance while it is fair for 'Aylmer'. 'HY 174-OA' is moderately resistant to crown rust (Puccinia coronata) and leaf blight (Septoria avenae f. sp. avenae) while the reference varieties are moderately susceptible to both.

Origin & Breeding History: 'HY 174-OA' (experimental designation OA1174-3) is a white-hulled covered oat variety developed using the modified Single Seed descent method from the final cross made in March of 2000. The pedigree is Ida / 06909-3-94, where 06909-3-94 is an Eastern Cereal & Oilseeds Research Centre breeding line from the cross of Aylmer / Goslin. The selection criteria included high yield and good groat percentage.

Tests & Trials: Trials were conducted during the 2010 and 2011 growing seasons at the Agriculture & Agri-Food Canada Eastern Cereal Oilseed Research Centre on the Central Experimental Farm, Ottawa, Ontario. Plots consisted of 4 rows with a row length of 3.6 meters and a row spacing of 23cm. There were 3 replicates.
