Everleaf™ 126 Oat is a true spring oat with dark green foliage, an erect growth habit and good ability to avoid lodging. EverLeaf 126 has leaves that actually extend above the canopy at heading. EverLeaf 126 is a delayed heading oat and much of its forage mass and quality come from an extended maturity. Since the plant is naturally vegetative for a longer period, biomass accumulation is extraordinary. EverLeaf 126 has a compact panicle that offers an attractive product when baled. Seed count averages 11,000 seed per pound.
Everleaf™ 126 Oat height is medium to tall. Under good moisture and fertility heads emerge at 48 to 52 inches. These oats respond well under irrigation, stand erect and resist lodging.
Management Notes: Everleaf™ 126 Oat has the same requirements as other spring planted forage cereals.
1. Adequate seed bed preparation is important as are seeding rate and fertility. EverLeaf 126 has a great deal of biomass and therefore insufficient levels of plant food and water will limit overall productive capacity.
2. Everleaf™ 126 Oat oats are high yielding while maintaining better quality. This is accomplished when both good fertility and good moisture are available. This means Everleaf™ 126 Oat is a high input oat with high output.
3. Since Everleaf™ 126 Oat performance is best when good fertility and moisture are available, dryland production should be limited to heavier soils with adequate rainfall.
4. Always test forages for nitrate levels before feeding, especially when grown in high nitrogen regimes.
5. Used as a nurse crop for newly seeded alfalfa, the delayed heading feature allows newly planted alfalfa stands to become more uniformly established before first cutting. This translates into higher quality forage and less damage to seedling alfalfa plants with immature crowns.
Everleaf 126 Oats are a PVP variety. Unauthorized seed production in any form is prohibited.
