Development of a Standard Artificial Freezing Technique for Evaluating Cold Resistance of Oats¹

Synopsis: A greenhouse and cold room technique is described which rates cold resistance of oat varieties in the same relative order as that in uniform hardiness experiments in the field. Of various factors influencing survival of seedlings, soil moisture content, temperature, length of cold treatment, and age of seedling had the greatest effect. Hardening treatment, thawing treatment and level of nutrition had small effects.
