Influence of digestate on the productivity of oats in different environmental conditions

Abstract

Thanks to the grain's high energy and nutritional value, oats are of great economic importance. The paper analyzed the productivity of oats on fertile soil, chernozem in a two-year period and in two variants of feeding: control (variants without feeding) and in the variant with digestate. Oat productivity parameters were analyzed: number of ears per panicle, grain mass per panicle and compared with grain yield per hectare. The results showed that year and digestate had a statistically significant effect on the number of spikelets per panicle of oats and that higher values of grain weight per panicle were achieved in the digestate variant compared to the control variant. The digestate had a significant effect on the increase in oat productivity parameters and its application in the oat crop is justified.
