GERARD 227 / NC12-3447 Varieties

GERARD 227 / NC12-3447 was released by North Carolina State University (NCSU). It is a high yielding, mid-season maturing, medium statured hulled oat with good test weight and good winter hardiness. It was released because of its competitive grain yield and test weight in comparison with Gerard 224, the consistently highest performing oat in North Carolina. Gerard 227 has a golden hull color that is much desired by North Carolina oat producers while Gerard 224 has an ivory hull. Gerard 227 is exclusively licensed through NCSU and seed propagation is limited to license holders. US PROTECTED VARIETY application and limitations to certified classes of seed is anticipated.
