Changes in Plant and Grain Quality of Winter Oat ( L.) Varieties in Response to Silicon and Sulphur Foliar Fertilisation under Abiotic Stress Conditions.

In order to investigate the abiotic stress (drought) tolerance of oat ( L.) with silicon and sulphur foliar fertilisation treatments, and monitor the effect of the treatments on the physiology, production, stress tolerance, plant, and grain quality of winter oat varieties, a field experiment was conducted in the growing season of 2020-2021. As a continuation of our article, published in another Special Issue of Plants, in this publication we evaluate the effect of silicon and sulphur treatments on the quality of winter oats.

Mitigating the Negative Effect of Drought Stress in Oat ( L.) with Silicon and Sulphur Foliar Fertilization.

A field experiment was carried out in the 2020-2021 growing season, aiming at investigating the abiotic stress tolerance of oat ( L.) with silicon and sulphur foliar fertilization treatments and monitoring the effect of treatments on the physiology, production and stress tolerance of winter oat varieties. In the Hungarian national list of varieties, six winter oat varieties were registered in 2020, and all of the registered varieties were sown in a small plot field experiment in Debrecen, Hungary.
