A field experiment was conducted for two successive years during Rabi(winter) seasons of 2015–16 and 201617 at Regional Research Station, ICAR-IGFRI, Srinagar to evaluate different oat varieties for their yield and quality attributes. The experiment consisted of nine treatments of different oat varieties namely JHO-822, JHO-2000-4, JHO-851, JHO-99-1 and JHO-99-2 from IGFRI-Jhansi, and Sabzar, SKO-20, SKO-90 and SKO-96 from SKUAST-K. The experimental results showed that Sabzar was the superior variety followed by SKO-90 and JHO-99-2 and JHO-99-1 during both the years in respect of almost all the growth parameters viz.plant height, number of tillers/per metre row length, leaf-stem ratio and LAI, yield (grain) attributes such as seed yield, 1000 seed weight and forage quality parameters.
