Registration of oat cultivar ‘SD Buffalo’

Le résumé fourni par la source

Abstract Oat ( Avena sativa L.)–based food products are of interest to U.S. consumers for the health benefits associated with their consumption. The United States is home to the largest oat milling industry in the world, with a majority of its oat milling operations located in the Northern Great Plains. Although most of the oats used domestically are imported, the increasing demand for oats presents a potential market for oat producers in the region and the opportunity to diversify crop rotations to improve soil health. However, higher‐yielding oat cultivars adapted to the Northern Great Plains are needed to increase the economic return for oat producers. ‘SD Buffalo’ (Reg. No. CV‐391; PI 701925) oat is a spring oat cultivar developed by South Dakota State University and selected for its excellent yield potential in the Northern Great Plains, good level of resistance to crown rust (caused by Puccinia coronata Corda f. sp. avenae Eriks.) at the time of release, and satisfactory quality for milling. SD Buffalo was released by the South Dakota Agricultural Experiment Station in 2021 as a replacement for the cultivar ‘Hayden’. Its release has the potential to further enhance oat production in the region and increase economic return for oat producers.
