Synopsis The test weight of seed oats was found to be positively correlated with the dry weight of seedlings produced. Except in one or two instances the plant weights from light test weight seed reached the same weight as those from heavy seed sometime before maturity. However, in some cases this required until heading time. Oat kernels produced on plants from light test weight seed weighed less than those from the heavy seed.
