SUMMARY
The new single-cut oat variety, HFO 806, developed by CCS Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar was released and notified for cultivation under timely sown, normal fertility
and irrigated conditions in the rabi season of South (Telangana, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Kerala and Andhra Pradesh) and Hill ( Himachal Pradesh, UT of Jammu and Kashmir) zone of the country. It was developed through pedigree method of breeding. The variety HFO 806 gave 376.4 q/ha green fodder yield which was 22.5% more than the national check Kent (307.3 q/ha) and 21.4% higher than the best national check OS 6 (310.0 q/ha) and 1.9% superior than the zonal check OS 403 (369.5 q/ha) in South zone, whereas it gave 295.2 q/ha green fodder yield which is 6.4% more than the national check OS 6 (277.5 q/ha) and 5.0% higher than the best national check Kent (281.2 q/ha) and 1.7% superior than the zonal check SKO 96 (290.2 q/ha) in Hill zone of the country. In case of dry matter yield, the variety HFO 806 (83.9 q/ha) exhibited superiority over the national check Kent (65.9 q/ha) by 27.3%, the best national check OS 6 (66.9 q/ha) by 25.4% and almost at par with the zonal check OS 403 (82.6 q/ha) and the best qualifying variety JO-06-23 (85.3 q/ha) in South zone, also the variety HFO 806 (71.6 q/ha) exhibited superiority over the national check OS 6 (67.9 q/ha) by 5.4% and the best national check Kent (68.8 q/ha) by 4.1% and almost at par with the zonal check SKO 96 (72.1 q/ha) and the best qualifying variety SKO 241 (72.8 q/ha) in Hill zone of the country. In South Zone, variety HFO 806 (9.5 q/ha) was almost at par with the national check OS 6 (9.9 q/ha) for seed yield (q/ha). But in Hill Zone, variety HFO 806 (23.9 q/ha) was 25.1% superior to the national check Kent (19.1 q/ha) and 23.2% superior to the best national check OS 6 (19.4 q/ha) and almost at par with the best qualifying variety RO-11-1-2 (23.2 q/ha) for seed yield (q/ha). The variety HFO 806 was almost at par with the national checks Kent and OS 6 for crude protein (%) in South Zone whereas it exhibited superiority over national check Kent by 4.96% and was almost at par with the best national check OS 6 for crude protein (%) in Hill Zone. Furthermore, it showed moderate resistance to powdery mildew disease in the Hill Zone.
