Results obtained from the field experiment on oat crop indicated that highest fodder yield was recorded when crop was cut at 70 days after sowing (DAS) followed by cut at 60 DAS and least by 50 DAS. Highest grain yield was recorded when oat was cut at 60 DAS (28.06 q ha-1) followed by cut at 50 DAS (25.57 q ha-1) and lowest by cut at 70 DAS (23.93 q ha-1). However, straw yield was recorded maximum under treatment cut at 50 DAS (65.46 q ha-1) followed by at 60 (63. 68 q ha-1) and least at 70 (55. 40 q ha-1). Crude protein in fodder decreased significantly with increase in age of crop and decrease was from 13.51 per cent at cut at 50 DAS to 12.64 per cent 12.51 at cut 60 DAS and 11.77 at cut at 70 DAS. Maximum plant height was recorded when oat was cut at 70 DAS (65.9) followed by cut at 60 DAS (53.8) and then cut at 50 DAS (45.9). Highest green fodder and dry matter accumulation were recorded when oat was cut at 70 DAS (172.6 and 34.4q/ha) and least when oat was cut at 50 DAS (140.2 and 22.8q/ha). Seeds per panicle were found highest (66.0) under first cut and lowest at third cut for fodder 62.20 grains/panicle. The test weight of oat was found highest (39.23) with the 60 DAS and it was significantly higher over 50 and 70 DAS.
