Abstract

A field experiment was conducted during 1988-89 and 1989-90 to study the effect of 5 nitrogen levels (0. 40. 80. 120 and 160 kg Nnla) and 3 cutting-management practices (no cutting for fodder, 1 cutting for fodder 55 days after sowing and 1 at 75 days after sowing) on grain yield of oat ( A v e ~ a saIi11a LJ. Grain yield increased only up to 80 kg Nha but the fodder production increased up to 160 kg Ntha. There was no significant difference among the cutting-management practices for grain yield, but the . fodder yield was 3 times higher when cutting was done 75 days after sowing than when it was done 55 days after sowing. In ternls of econon~ics, taking grain after 1 cutting for fodder 75 days afler sowins and fertilized with 120 kg Nha was more profitable.
