The experiment was carried out in Ożenna near Krempna in 1995-1997. The chances of cultivating early 4 strains and 2 cultivars of oats using cereal standard cultivation technologies were tested. The results of our studies confirmed usefulness of the tested strains and cultivars of oats in mountainous conditions. The yields obtained especially in 1996 (4,02 t/Ha) and in 1997 (5,2 t/Ha) help to confirm the usefulness for cultivation of new oat strains and cultivars as cereal crops for improving the fodder base in this region.
