Avena brevis Cultivation | Propagation | General Uses Cultivation Notes: We have very little information on this species, but it should be possible to grow it as a spring-sown annual in Britain, and might also succeed as an autumn-sown crop. A diploid species, it is of little commercial importance[57] but is locally cultivated in sandy fields in Europe for its edible seed[50]. It is oten used in mountainous regions because the seed ripens quickly[2]. A parent of the cultivated species of oats[171]. Closely related to A. sativa, differing mainly in its small spikelets and plumper lemmas[236]. The following notes are based on the general needs of the genus. Succeeds in any moderately fertile soil in full sun[200]. Oats are in general easily grown plants but, especially when grown on a small scale, the seed is often completely eaten out by birds. Some sort of netting seems to be the best answer on a garden scale. For further Avena brevis gardening information |
