Analysis on growth characters and production levels of two species of naked oat (Avena nuda) in Henan Province

To found a possibility and necessity of introduce naked oat (Avena nuda) into Hennan Province, growth characters and production levels of 2 species, Neinongda Oatsl and Neinongda Oats2, from Inner Mongolia were studied at yellow river beach in Henan Province. Grain yields were 457.6 g/m2 and 481.7 g/m2, and forage yields (DM) were 1 608.1 g/m2 and 1 472.8 g/m2. These were higher than that in Inner Mongolia. This imply that the two species are adapted to the soil and the climate of the area.
