The aim of this study was to assess the effect of sprinkling irrigation and nitrogen fertilization on the leaf area
index (LAI), chlorophyll content (SPAD), grain quality, as well as grain yield and yield components in three
oat forms (tall husked, dwarf husked and hulles). Field trials were conducted in 2008 and 2009 on the fields of
the Experimental and Teaching Station in Gorzyń (the branch in Złotniki), which belongs to the Poznań
University of Life Sciences. Sprinkling irrigation increased the grain yield of oat by 1.45 t ha-1
, (51.8%). The
highest grain yield was recorded for the tall husked form (STH 8007). Nitrogen fertilization significantly
increased the oat grain yield as the increase in the rate of nitrogen application to 100 kg N ha-1 was observed.
The greatest contents of protein and fat, as well as the highest SPAD value and chlorophyll content were found in
the hulless oat form. The best quality sowing material was produced by the tall husked form. It was manifested
with a higher germination energy and germination capacity as well as lower shares of healthy non-germinating
and abnormally germinating kernels.
