Oat seed size has become very large so planting according to TKW to achieve a desired plant population needs to be considered. We looked at 3 different seeding rates to compare how this variety would respond. Overall, CS Camden is a very large plant that provides good week weed competition. It also have straw straw strength which allows us to push our Nitrogen levels to try to increase yield. Lodging was not an issue until harvest time but with some patience, we were able to get the plot harvested.
