In the period 2005-2007 trials with five oats populations
(Krivogastani,Trebenishta,Radolishta, Bugarija, Kuceviste) and three oats
varieties Rajac, Slavuj and Lovcen), were carried out. The trials were set up
in conditions of organic and conventional production. The main objective of
this investigation was to determine the differences in some morphological
characteristics of the tested genotypes, which directly or indirectly affect
the yield, and also, to determine the differences that came up as a result of
the different systems of production (conventional and organic production).
The average height of the oats plant cultivated in organic production (114,4
cm) was higher absolutely by 2,2 cm or relatively by 2.0% than the height of
the oats plantcultivated in conventional production. The system of production
showed no effect on the length of the panicle. The yield of oats grain by
panicle in organic production (3,30 g) was higher absolutely by 0,3 g or
relatively by 9.1% than the yield of oats grain by panicle in conventional
production (3,0 g). The system of production did not impact significantly on
the percentage of the glumes. The lowest percentage of glumes in both systems
of production gavevariety Rajac.</jats:p
