Oats

“To reduce harmful nematodes that oats could encourage, avoid planting oats two years in a row or after nematode-susceptible small grains such as wheat, rye or triticale (71).”

“On the other hand, mixing rye with oats is not recommended because early established oats will compete excessively with rye in fall, possibly resulting in a thin rye stand in the spring when the oats have winterkilled.”

“The disease affects small grains including wheat, barley,oats,triticale,and rye.”

“They can infect over 80 species of annual and perennial grasses including barley, corn, oats, rye, and wheat, but yield impacts are restricted to wheat, barley, and oats.”

“Rotate small grains and corn with legumes, and leave at least one year between cereals, grass or corn before planting small grains.”

“FHB, or scab, affects wheat, barley, oats, corn, and other grasses.”

“broadleaf weeds have time to set seeds in a grain crop before harvest, which is particularly a problem in noncompetitive or difficult-to-cultivate crops like onion and carrot”

“Wireworms (Melanotus communis, Limonius spp.) Highly wireworm- susceptible crops (e.g., root crops, corn, melons) following grassy sod or small grain crops Larvae in soil in the field Wireworms can continue to be damaging in a particular field for many years, since some species remain in the larval stage for 3–6 years.”

“Plant clean, firm seed and rotate out of alliums for at least 4 years after an infestation. Avoid planting allium crops directly after brassicas, corn, grain, or grass cover crops.”

“Wireworm problems occur most often in fields that were recently in hay, pasture, or sod (within the past 3 years), had grassy weeds in previous years, or were in sorghum-sudangrass or grass cover crops or cereal grains. Forest soils may also harbor wireworms; thus recently cleared land can be infested. The most important method of wireworm control is to avoid planting potatoes or other susceptible crops in infested fields.”

“Fusarium head blight (FHB) or head scab, caused by the fungus Fusarium graminearum and related species, is one of the most important diseases of wheat, oats, barley, spelt and other small grain crops.”

“Allelopathic (naturally occurring herbicidal) compounds in oat roots and residue can hinder weed growth for a few weeks. These compounds also can slow germination or root growth of some subsequent crops, such as lettuce, cress, timothy, rice, wheat and peas. Minimize this effect by waiting three weeks after oat killing before seeding a susceptible crop, or by following with an alternate crop.”

“When possible, plant wheat following a legume crop (soybean) and maintain a rotation with 2 to 3 years between wheat crops. Although soybean is also affected by F. graminearum it is still better to plant wheat after soybean than after another small grain crop or corn.”

“Alley cropping example of black walnut and oats.”

“D-, use grain crops or sweet corn in rotation with cabbage and related species to decrease white mold (67).”

“White Mold (Sclerotinia sclerotiorum) Fluffy white mycelium and black sclerotia distinguish this disease from other crown and root rots of carrots. The sclerotia can survive for many years on the soil. Rotate with small grains.”

“Rotate crops with a cereal or pasture crop; avoid beets, beans, brassicas, and potatoes, all of which increase inoculum.”

“D-, use grain crops or sweet corn in rotation with bean to decrease root rots (67).”

“Rotation with non-host crops such as sugar beets, corn, alfalfa, or small grains will reduce number of sclerotia in fields. Avoid planting beans in fields with a white mold history for at least 3 years.”

“Root-knot nematode is extremely damaging to carrots and parsnips, even at low population densities. Stunted, unthrifty foliage is often the first symptom of nematode damage on carrots and parsnips. Taproots often produce multiple forks and abundant fine feeder roots with small galls. Monitor soils for nematode populations. Rotate with non-hosts such as cereals.”

“D-, use of 2 years of grass or 1 year of cereal in rotation with potato helps reduce rhizoctonia canker (67).”

“After tests in Maine with oats, broccoli, white lupine (Lupinus albus) and field peas (Pisum sativum) researchers cautioned it may take three to five years to effectively reduce stem lesion losses on potatoes caused by R. solani (240).”

“In New York, growing cover crops overseeded within three weeks of potato planting provided good weed suppression, using 70 percent less herbicide. Yield was the same as, or moderately reduced from, the standard herbicide control plots in the two-year study. Hairy vetch, woollypod vetch, oats, barley, and an oats/ hairy vetch mix were suppressed as needed with fluazifop and metribuzin (341).”

“Rotate crops with a cereal or pasture crop; avoid beets, beans, brassicas, and potatoes, all of which increase inoculum.”

“D-, use grain crops or sweet corn in rotation with bean to decrease root rots (67).”

“Rotating host crops with non-host crops (corn, small grains, and alfalfa) is the most effective method of controlling SCN. Under average Ohio conditions, SCN populations may decline by 50 percent per year under non-host crops. In fields where SCN populations are high, it may take three years or more of non-host crops between soybean crops to reduce SCN populations significantly.”

“Care should be taken when selecting crops to rotate with soybeans. Most broad-leaf crops such as alfalfa, sunflower, dry beans, are also hosts of white mold. Small grains and corn are good nonhost crops for white mold.”

“Adding a small grain to the corn>soybean rotation helps control white mold on soybeans, since two years out of beans are needed to reduce pathogen populations.”

“Rotate crops with a cereal or pasture crop (avoid beets, beans, brassicas, and potatoes, which can increase inoculum).”

“D-, use grain crops or sweet corn in rotation with beet to decrease root rots (67).”

“Rotate tomatoes with non-host crops such as corn or small grains for at least 4 years.”

“Successful dual row alley-cropping planting of grafted improved pecans and oats.”

“Rotate small grains and corn with legumes, and leave at least one year between cereals, grass or corn before planting small grains.”
