Star Seed

Jerry oats are a dual purpose oat. They can be used for both grain and forage. Jerry oats was developed by the North Dakota Agricultural Experiment Station and released in 1994. Jerry is similar to Newdak in heading date and height and has good lodging resistance. Jerry has white hulls, which are fluorescent under UV light. Kernels have a high-test weight, groat percent and whole oat protein but are not as high as Hytest in ND tests. Disease resistance ratings are moderately susceptible for red leaf (BYDV). Jerry carries moderate resistance to crown and is moderately susceptible to stem rust. The variety has medium high protein.
