Oats are utilized primarily as feed for domestic animals and is also fourth most important cereal crop of the world. The Fodder Research Center, Sargodha, used conventional breeding techniques to generate the general cultivar "Barkat" of oat (Avena sativa L.). It will be launched in 2021. The "FRI-01" commercial cultivar is a highly uniform off spring of the crosses between parental accessions (No. 970 and No. 288) and subsequent selections in multiple segregating populations (F2 through F6) using pedigree procedures. The cultivar outperformed the commercial check "Sargodha-Oat 2011" by 10% and 12.76% in forage yield during 2014-2015 and 2015-2016 station trials, respectively, and by 13.32% in fodder yield during 2016-17 at the zonal level. It is a late-maturing green cultivar that produces light brown seed and has a tall, multi-tillering plant form. It gave 7.13% higher fodder yield during 2017-18 and 22.38% increase over check variety during 2018-19 in national trials. Forage qualities include high palatability (85%), protein content (10.6%), and tolerance to biotic and abiotic stresses. The flowers bloom roughly ten days after the reference variety. Barkat (FRI-01) sown on 1st October and 15th October gave highest fodder yield in comparison with other tested sowing dates while maximum green fodder yield 87 ton ha-1 at 80 kg per ha seed rate and 30 cm row spacing. Barkat (FRI-01) will be extremely valuable cultivars in both irrigated and desert region of Punjab Province due to its high yield, great palatability, higher protein contents than standard check, and tolerance to biotic and abiotic stress. Also, the cultivar can serve as a parental line in future efforts to enhance oat genetics.
