'ND Carson' oat (RFP-349)

ND Carson is a spring oat developed by North Dakota State University and released by the North Dakota Agricultural Experiment Station in 2023. The variety has good yield potential, good test weight, and good lodging resistance.

It exhibits crown rust resistance similar to “Leggett”. The crown rust resistance of ND Carson was derived from the diploid Avena strigosa by Rines. Rines derived the crown rust resistance used in ND Carson from A. strigosa independently of the derivation (Pc 94) for Leggett, but the resistance in ND Carson is inhibited by Pc38 as it is in Leggett. ND Carson does not likely have crown rust resistance that exceeds Leggett.

The milling characteristics of ND Carson are considered good, but it produces slightly more thin kernels than ND Spilde. The variety has produced consistently high grain yield and test weight in ND Oat Variety Trials.

To help ensure genetic purity, 'ND Carson' oat has been protected under PVPA Title V (certificate no. pending) and must be sold as a class of certified seed.
