‘Maverick’ spring oat ( Avena sativa L.) (Reg. No. CV‐375, PI 652940) was developed cooperatively by the USDA‐ARS and the Idaho Agricultural Experiment Station (AES) and jointly released in 2007 by the USDA‐ARS, the Idaho AES, the Montana AES, and the Colorado AES. Maverick derives from the cross 80Ab988/‘Monida’ made in 1984 at Aberdeen, ID. Maverick was developed using a modified bulk selection program and selected as an F 5:6 head row at Aberdeen, ID, in 1990 and was given the selection designation of 90Ab1322. Maverick is a short‐strawed oat cultivar suited to irrigated and higher moisture areas in Colorado, Idaho, and Montana. It is a white hulled, high‐protein type favored in the equine industry.
