Oat: - A good fodder and fiber

Quality seed is a vital factor in the crop establishment and overall performance of the crop. Oat is used in India both as feed and fodder. It is also a very rich source of fiber which can be included to our daily diet. The non-availability of quality seeds of improved varieties is a crucial factor in popularization of fodder crop. Availability of viable and vigorous seed at the planting time is important for achieving targets of agricultural production because good quality seeds act as a catalyst for realizing the potential of other inputs.
